Punctuation means putting pauses at the right places in sentences to express the meaning clearly and to make it easier to understand. Some of the punctuation marks that we use are: • Comma (,) • Full stop (.) • Exclamation mark (!) • Question mark (?) • Apostrophe (‘)
. Full stop You put the full stop at the end of a sentence. E,g • A dog likes bones. • A horse likes hay. • A flower grows. • A banana is yellow.
Question mark ? Question mark goes at the end of a question E.g. • What's your name? • Do you like school? • How old are you? • Do you like dolphins?
Exclamation mark ! Exclamation mark is used at the end of a sentence or a short phrase which expresses very strong feeling. E.g. • What a lovely view you have here! • That's fantastic! • Help! An exclamation mark is also usual after an exclamation beginning with what or how E.g • What fools people can be! • How well Marshall bowled yesterday!
Comma , You use commas for listing and joining 2 sentences together. E.g • I like fruit especially Strawberrys,rasberrys and apple. • My friends names are Bethany, Ellie and Jade. Joining sentences together E.g • You must hand in your essay by Friday, or you will receive a mark of zero. • Norway has applied to join the EC, and Sweden is expected to do the same.
Apostrophe ‘ • It shows possession or belonging. Example : The cat’s tail is short. • It also helps in writing short forms. Example : She didn’t attended the party.
