Using Commas, Periods and Paragraphs

If you are wondering when to use a comma, period or paragraph, read your text out loud.

When reading, leave a:
- one-second pause for every comma
- two-second gap for the end of a sentence, and
- four-seconds for the end of a paragraph.

If it sounds natural, you`ve got it right. Otherwise, adjust accordingly.
