Great!!!! I was looking forward to watching a lesson about this topic. I'll try to use all of these tips when practicing writing. You nailed it!!! ✌️
Just an idea for a future video would be taking a random tricky text without any punctuation and then complete it with the corresponding punctuation. 😊

You can also use ellipsis when a sentence hasn't been finished. Thus, there could be more information given in the sentence, but it is not given. That extra information may not be necessary, or the author expects their audience to know that. Besides, ellipsis can be used in well-known idioms, in case the idiom isn't complete for some reason.
