such as: punctuation rules, vocabulary and grammar. Punctuation rules are causing so many difficulties for students. It is a big challenge for people who are learning English especially if they do not study and review the rules for each case. “There is one particular error that is very common, students quite often are in the habit of running two or more sentences together and joining them with commas”. (Davis) That means that they use a comma instead of a period. In this example, the write have to use a period before students. The following sentence is another instance: I went to the pool, but it was closed, so I went in my car, then I turned the radio on, and then I went to the beach with my friends. This is a long sentence which need a period after closed instead of a comma, capitalize S, another period after on, delete and and capitalize T.
