Apostrophe and question mark

Lesson seventeen. The apostrophe is next to the semicolon, for your right little finger. The question mark is on the slash key, so hold the left Shift.

Keys in this lesson:

  • '
  • ?
Tocka the tortoise waving
Tocka

Tip: Words like it's and don't use an apostrophe. Every question needs a question mark.

Ready? Sit up tall with your feet flat, put your fingers on the home row, and look at the screen, not your hands. Have a break after about 15 minutes.

The typing tutor needs JavaScript switched on in your browser.

For grown-ups

There are 4 short exercises. The tutor waits for the right key, so mistakes cannot pile up, and it shows accuracy and words per minute at the end of each one. The mini test is passed at 90% accuracy. Speed is not part of the pass mark unless you switch on Speed goals (goal for this lesson: 12 words per minute). Progress is saved only in this browser.

The practice text in this lesson:

  1. Warm-up: '' ;' ?? it's I'm can't don't
