Hi, Adam. Thank you for these tools. I think it can be very useful. I will definitely try to use these tools in my practice. I think it’s important not only to improve writing skills but also to help improve the ability to describe something to someone.
Hello, Adam. I wanted to ask you about The TOEFL exam.Do the TOEFL examiners focus hard on punctuation?
Punctuation is too hard with some transitions.
Hi Sumaia4,
They look at punctuation as part of the whole package. More importantly, if the punctuation confuses the message, then yes, they will notice. Otherwise they don’t necessarily look at it as a specific issue.
Hope this helps.
