Use a range of punctuation correctly (e.g. full stops, question marks, commas, possessive apostrophes, colons, quotations marks)
Remember! Commas have two main jobs:
1. To separate things in a list (e.g. I need new shoes, socks, gloves and trousers before I start work).
2. To add extra information. Use commas to mark out the less important part of a sentence, which is a useful way of making the sentence more interesting (eg the van, which was parked by the light, had a dog on the front seat).
Add commas to this text to make the sense clearer:
Using a camera we are told is the most popular route into art. However as well as being creative photos are a great way to keep memories. Most of us have a photo album at home. In the old days when I was young taking pictures was hard work. Now with new cameras it is easy. You just point and shoot. Digital cameras although expensive are really easy to use. You don’t even have to print off pictures you don’t like. You can delete your mistakes if you have any before anyone else sees them. Now we can all look like experts.
