Remember

Nowadays, the generally accepted rule is to place a comma before starting a direct
quotation rather than a colon. For example, Mother Teresa said, ‘Give, till it hurts.’

C. Rewrite these sentences. Punctuate them correctly using capital letters, full

stops, commas, apostrophes, hyphens, colons, semicolons, inverted commas,
question marks and exclamation marks, wherever required.
