Corrected version:
During the dry months,
the grasses turn yellow.
However, once the rains fall,
the grasslands turn green.
Step-by-step explanation (easy):
- Start with a capital letter: The first word of a sentence is big (During, However).
- Use a comma for a short pause: Put a comma after "During the dry months," and after "However, once the rains fall," so the reader pauses there.
- Use a period to finish a sentence: Put a period after "the grasses turn yellow." and after "the grasslands turn green." This tells the reader the sentence is finished.
- "However" is a word that shows a change or contrast. It tells us something different happens when the rains come.
Nice poem! The changes above fix the small punctuation issues so it reads clearly.
