7. 7. OVERALLWHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? Adjective comes before the noun. Use of proper pronouns. Verbs should be in past tense. A person is born on a date, in a country and in a month or yearalso, aperson is from a place. Which is spelled WHICH. Proper names of people and places are capitalized as are days of theweek and months of the year. Remember to include an apostrophe () in contractions. If a noun ending in y is pluralthen the nouns ending becomes ies Dates are written as month date, year. Ex. October 27, 2014 If stating something said exactlyuse quotes! Quote.
