Explanation:
My dad, Mike, and I were vacationing on Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts. We had left from home, which is Concord, New Hampshire and had arrived at the ferry boat, Nantucket Queen. The next day, we rented a boat and sailed into Grebers Bay, the voices of other sailors, the sound of the water beneath us, and the flapping of the overhead sails were pleasant. Suddenly, the peaceful scene was interrupted by shouts from another boat that had turned and was heading right into us. "Watch out!", two men yelled excitedly. "We've lost control of our boat!" "Grab the tiller John!" ,Dad yelled to me. "Pull it toward you when I give the signal!" "All right, Dad!", I responded. Dad grabbed the sail and as he adjusted it, he yelled at me, "Now John, pull back!" I did what he said not a moment too soon. Whew! What a narrow escape! The other boat passed within twenty two-inches of ours.
Answer:
My dad Mike and I were vacationing on Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. We had left from home, which is Concord, New Hampshire, and had arrived at the ferry boat Nantucket Queen. The next day we rented a boat and sailed into Grebers Bay. The voices of other sailors, the sound of the water beneath us, and the flapping of the overhead sails were pleasant. Suddenly the peaceful scene was interrupted by shouts from another_boat that had turned and was heading right into us!
"Watch out," two men yelled excitedly, "We've lost control of our boat!"
"Grab the tiller John!" dad yelled to me, "Pull it toward you when I give the signal!"
"All right dad!" I responded.
Dad grabbed the sail and as he adjusted it.
He yelled at me, "Now John, pull back!"
I did what he said not a moment too soon. Whew! What a narrow escape, the other boat passed within twenty-two inches of ours.
Explanation:
- Capitalize M of my, since the word at the beginning of a sentence requires capitalization.
- Capitalize M of Mike, since names are always capitalized (such as roads, of people, places, etc) even at the beginning of a sentence.
- Capitalize N and I of Nantucket Island, because that is a place therefore the I should be capitalized along with the island's name.
- Capitalize the M in Massachusetts, since the name of places (such as a state in this scenario) needs to be capitalized.
- Add a period after Massachusetts, since this is the end of the statement aka sentence.
- Capitalize the W of we, since the word is at the beginning of a sentence.
- Add a comma after home and after Hampshire, since this is a side piece of information, it doesn't have a set place in the sentence. This makes it (the fact that their home is in New Hampshire) have its own spot within the sentence.
- Capitalize the C, N, and H of Concord, New Hampshire, since this is a place, which requires capitalization.
- Add a comma between Concord and New, since this sets the difference between the state and city/county within said state.
- Capitalize N and C of Nantucket and Queen, since this is the name of the ferry, it needs to be capitalized.
- Add a period after Queen, since this marks the end of the statement/sentence.
- Capitalize the T of the, since this is the beginning of a sentence, which requires capitalization.
- Capitalize the G and B of Grebers Bay, since this is a place (a bay) and needs to be capitalized.
- Add a period after Bay, to mark the end of the statement/sentence.
- Capitalize the T of the, since this is the beginning of the sentence.
- Add commas after sailors and us. This is a list of items, therefore a comma is used to separate the items. (Pro-tip: make sure to add commas only when the list of things exceeds 3. Also, make sure to add a comma to that last word right before 'and' it can change the meaning if you don't!)
- Add a period after pleasant, this marks the end of the statement/sentence.
- Capitalize the S of suddenly, this is required since this is the first word of the sentence.
- Add a space in between another and boat, since these are two separate words there's no need for a hyphen; just a space!
- Add ending punctuation after us, this can be an exclamation point (!) or period (.) although the exclamation point fits the context more, hence why I used it instead. The ending punctuation is needed since it signifies the end of a statement/sentance.
- Add a paragraph break after us, since someone is speaking, which requires a new paragraph.
- Add quotation marks around what the men said (which is 'watch out' and 'we've lost control of our boat') put a starter (") before watch and we've, then an end (") after out and boat.
- Capitalize the W of watch, since this is the beginning of the quote (what the men said).
- Add a comma after out, since this is not all the men said, and is a part of the entire quote (of what they said).
- Capitalize the W of we've, since this is the beginning of a continued quote.
- Add an apostrophe between we and ve since we've is we + have, making it require a '.
- Add an exclamation point after boat.
- ETC
hope this helps:)
