How Important Is Punctuation for IELTS?
Punctuation tends to fill people with a sense of dread. Even native speakers of English struggle with it. However, is it really that difficult? Whilst mastering all the rules of punctuation may be a tough task, for IELTS you are only required to know the basics. Just knowing these fundamentals and avoiding big errors would be enough to let you score band 9.
In this video, I will explain why punctuation is important and then talk about the most important rules. I will guide you through the different uses for full stops, commas, semi-colons, question marks, and exclamation marks. I think you will be pleasantly surprised to find that it isn't as difficult as you would imagine.
If you don't want to watch the whole video, you can use this chapter guide to skip ahead to the relevant section. You might also find it a good way of skipping back to review something that you weren't 100% clear on.

In this video, I mentioned two pages on my website. One was a guide to the Oxford comma, which you can find here: https://ted-ielts.com/oxford-comma-ielts/ and the other was a guide to using commas: https://ted-ielts.com/essential-ielts-grammar-commas/ .
I also mentioned a study conducted by IELTS, which you can see here: https://www.ielts.org/for-researchers/test-statistics/test-taker-performance and I quoted from a book by Shelly Cornick, which you can download here: https://blog.myieltsclassroom.com/ielts-examiner-ebook/
