Answer 1

Correct punctuation involves using quotation marks to delineate spoken words and ensuring proper use of full stops, commas, colons, and semicolons in relation to these quotation marks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to punctuate sentences with inverted commas, full stops, and commas. When punctuating direct speech, it's important to use quotation marks to indicate exactly where the speech begins and ends. Full stops and commas are used within the quotation marks if they are part of the quoted material.

Here are the corrected sentences:

1. "I don't want to go out because it's too hot," said Grandma.
2. "We need honey for this recipe," said Amir, "and we have none."
3. "Go ask Lili," said Psi, "if we have any more ketchup."
4. "Lucy is a great artist," said Chloe, "but I'm better at sports."

Remember to use commas after signaling phrases, inside the quotation marks when they belong to the quoted speech, and colons and semicolons outside quotation marks unless they are part of the quoted material.
