Historical Origins of English - ANS-The Beginning of English dates back to 449 AD.
Three Germanic tribes the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes arrived in what is now
known as England during this time.
Approximately 60% of Modern English comes from Latin, either directly through Latin or
through the French Language.
Students can use Greek and Latin roots to determine word meanings.
Quotation Mark Rules - ANS-We use quotation marks with direct quotes, with titles of
certain works, to imply alternate meanings, and to write words as words.
Enclose slang expressions, colloquialisms, technical words, or words used in a
humorous or ironic way in quotation marks when such expressions are not keeping with
the style of writing in which they occur.
Block quotations are not set off with quotation marks.
The quoted text is capitalized if you're quoting a complete sentence and not capitalized
if you're quoting a fragment.
Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks in American English;
dashes, colons, and semicolons almost always go outside the quotation marks;
question marks and exclamation marks sometimes go inside, sometimes stay outside.
In American English, single quotation marks are used for quotes within quotes.

WHICH, THAT, or by a relative adverb, such as WHERE, WHEN, WHY.
