the punctuation mark . used to indicate that a sentence or an abbreviation is ended
A point (.) is a punctuation mark used to indicate the end of a sentence. It signals the completion of a thought or statement, allowing readers to pause before starting the next sentence. For instance, in the sentence "The sun is shining," the point shows that the statement is finished. Points are also used in abbreviations, such as "e.g." for "for example" or "i.e." for "that is." By marking the end of sentences and clarifying meanings, points play an important role in written communication.
