Call: project Level: 7 Name: Abdulkareem Omair Student No: 426000083
In this paper I am going to discuss the correct usage of the Full Stops. I applied this on the students of Imam university/ collegeof English department, level1,2. I noticed that some studentsdon’t know the correct usage of the full stop. So I'm going toexplain the correct usage of the full stops, by showing the rulesof using it, and I'm going to show some examples of what thestudents wrote, and I'm going to show them examples of nativespeakers and how they use the full stops.
Introduction: Before I begin talking about my project, I made a frequency data to see what words or articlesthe students use, and we see that the students, used( To) 81 times and the (he), 70 time, this isa good thing, and shows that the student can improve their writing in the future.
Full stops
A
full stop
or
period
(sometimes
stop
,
full point
, or
dot
), is the punctuationmark commonly placed at the end of several different types of sentencesinEnglishand many other languages. A full stop consists of a
small dot placed at the end of a line of text, such as at the end of thissentence.After we have seen the definition of the full stop, let see an example of how the students use the full stops in their writings, and examples thatshow the correct usage of it.
We see here that the student who wrote this paragraph, made somemistakes in using the full stops. Instead of putting a full stop after hefinishes this sentence:
He live in Riyadh, He works Al Riyadh bank
. He should have put a fullstop, or if he wishes to continue the sentence, he must write the first letter that comes after the comma, as a small letter, not capital.This is An Example of the correct usage of the full stop:
My name is Ali. I am 22years old. I live in Riyadh.
Terminology
Period is the preferred term in North America. The term full stop is rarelyused by speakers inCanada, and virtually never in theUnited States, but it
is the only term inBritish English.If it is used in Canada, it may be generally differentiated from period incontexts where both might be used: a full stop is specifically a delimiting piece of punctuationthat represents the end of a sentence.

Whena distinction is made, a period is then any appropriately sized and placeddot in English language text, including use in abbreviations (such as U.S.)and at the ends of sentences, but excluding certain special uses of dots atthe bottom of a line of text, such asellipses.
