Introduction to Punctuation

Punctuation is an important part of writing and speaking. It is used to help


create clarity and emphasis in our writing. Punctuation helps us to structure
our sentences and ideas in an organized way.
Full Stops (.)

A full stop is used at the end of a statement. It shows that


the sentence has come to an end. It is also used to separate
parts of a number and in abbreviations.
Example: I hope to see you soon.
St. (street), Mr. (Mister)
Commas (,)
A comma is used to separate items in a list or to add a pause to a
sentence. It is also used to separate two independent clauses when
joined by a coordinating conjunction.

Example: and, but, so, yet.


Semicolons (;)

A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses when they are


related to each other. It can also be used to separate items in a list
when the items are long and contain commas.

Example: I have a big test tomorrow; I can’t go out tonight.


Colons (:)
A colon is used to introduce a list or an explanation. It is also
used to separate a title from its subtitle, or to separate a clause
from a quotation.

Example: She brought everything she needed for the


trip: a suitable, a backpack, and a camera.
Question Marks (?)

A question mark is used at the end of a direct


question. It signals that the sentence is asking a
question and should be answered.

Example: What are you doing this weekend?


Exclamation Marks (!)
An exclamation mark is used to show surprise,
excitement, or emphasis. It should be used sparingly as
it can be seen as too forceful or aggressive in some
contexts.

Example: Watch out for that car!


Quotation Marks (“”)
Quotation marks are used to set off a direct quotation.
They should be placed around the exact words that
were spoken or written. They can also be used to
indicate irony or sarcasm.

Example:
1. She said, “I’ll meet you at the library after school.”
2. “Can you believe it?” he asked in amazement.
