Punctuation is using special signs, and certain typographical devices to help the understanding and correct reading of written texts.
What Is Punctuation?
Punctuation refers to a set of symbols and marks that are used in writing to help make the meaning of sentences and phrases clearer.
Punctuation Marks
There are many different punctuation marks in English. Some of them are:
- Full stop (.)
- Question mark (?)
- Exclamation mark (!)
Now, let us see how each one functions:
Full Stop
'Full stop' or 'period' (.) is a sign that shows a sentence is finished. We use it at the end of sentences that are facts and general truths. Look at the following examples:
The baby is asleep.
There's a children's playground in the park.
Question Mark
'Question mark' (?) shows that the speaker is asking a question and wants to know the answer. Look below:
Where are the kids?
Do you like ice cream?
Exclamation Mark
An 'exclamation mark' (!) shows that the speaker is expressing something with strong emotions such as anger, surprise, happiness, etc. Take a look at the following examples:
Get out of the room now!
The cat is dying!
