A third example is "I don’t look at the time and I also forget to look at my schedule to do some chores, but now I do use my time wisely."
A "third example" is I don’t look at the time and I also forget to look at my schedule to do some chores, but now I do use my time wisely.
When Ms. DeFranco asked Nelson how he's changed, he said, "I don’t look at the time and I also forget to look at my schedule to do some chores, but now I do use my time wisely."

The primary function of quotation marks is to set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else.
Also, Nelson, we are glad you use your time wisely now! :)

Choose the corrections for the underlined words:
AUNTS and UNCLES
