#1: The Comma

The first writing tip I will be sharing is on the importance of the punctuation mark, comma.

Simple enough right? But many people fail to or use them wrongly.

"Let's eat, Grandma."
With the comma, this words indicate that the speaker is talking to their Grandma and suggesting that they eat dinner.

Watch what happens when you remove the comma:
"Let's eat Grandma."

Same words and all. But the second sentence without the comma indicates that the speaker is talking to someone else and suggesting that they eat their grandma.
