I picked up most of this from my english classes throughout the years, but I was homeschooled 4th and 5th grade, and they never really reviewed it from then on. This video really helped me learn everything clearly. Thank you!

So how were papers written before computers? This is just so extra to me lol I kind of wish they taught this in a lower grade to better prepare college students

Ok wait does indentation spacing matter? Should I use .25 or .5?
