Brief Introduction
What are Punctuation Marks?
It is used to create sense, clarity, and stress in sentences.

It helps the reader(s) understand what is meant.
It makes writing more organized.
06
Period
The period is the easiest to master among the punctuation marks, for it signals
the full stop or the end of a complete sentence that is a statement.
Statement
It is necessary to use a period to mark the end of a statement.
Example: We peacefully celebrated the year-end holidays recently.

07
Period
Abbreviation
If a sentence ends with an abbreviation that uses a period, there is no need to
add another period.
Examples: Our acting principal this second semester is Norma P. Blanco, PhD.
Our English class starts 8 a.m.
Ms. Jane is the president of Bixby Knolls Preparatory Academy, Inc.
08
Period
Indirect Questions
The question mark is replaced by a period in indirect questions.
Examples: Laura asked if she could come to your house tomorrow.
The question my mother asked is whether we are going to need to
wear our uniform tomorrow.
09
Period
Titles
The punctuation mark of a title of a work is retained if it is found at the end of the
sentence. There is no need to add a period.
Examples: I have not read the book Who Moved My Cheese?
Randy is watching the movie Abracadabra!
10
Period
Titles
However, if the title is inside quotation marks, the period is placed before the
closing quotation.
Example: Myrna liked reading Ernest Hemmingway's "Hills Like White

Elephants."
11
Period
Quotations
If a sentence ends with a quoted text, the period is placed before the closing
quotation mark.
Example: "Now must we praise heaven-kingdom's Guardian."

Monching asked, "Why is it so difficult to understand?"
12
Period
Parentheses
If a sentence ends with a parenthetical that is only part of a larger sentence, the
period is placed outside the closing parenthesis.
Example: Venerable Bede wrote the book Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis

Anglorum (The Ecclesiastical History of the English People).
13
Period
Parentheses
If the parenthetical is itself an entire sentence, the period is placed inside the
closing parenthesis.
Example: Conchita is very good in English. (That is why I admire her.)

14
Comma
The comma is used to separate parts of a sentence in order to make the
meaning clear. It also serves as a signal to the reader to pause briefly as he/she
reads a text. It can be used in the following instances:
To separate items in a list
Example: This morning, my mother cooked omelet, fried rice, and fish for
breakfast.
15
Comma
To separate items in a list of phrases
Example: The government should prioritize improving the educational system,

building more infrastructure, and providing more jobs.
16
Comma
To separate an introductory word or phrase from the main sentence
Example: Nevertheless, many scholars consider "Caedmon's Hymn" as a

significant artifact in English history.
17
Comma
To separate a word or phrase that interrupts the flow of the sentence
Example: Venerable Bede, according to historians, is the "Father of English

History."
18
Comma
To separate an afterthought or final contrasting phrase in a sentence
Example: To better understand English literature we must study its history, not
just the literary texts.
19
Comma
In some cases, a comma is not used before the last item within a series of three
or more words or phrases before the coordinating conjunctions. However, a
majority of style guides in English prefer using a serial comma (also called the
Oxford comma) to match the speaking cadence of sentences and to be
consistent with other means of separating items in a list, especially to avoid
confusion when the coordinating conjunction and is used as part of an item in
the list.
Example: The topics discussed by Ms. Valeriano are botany, anatomy,

physiology, and Earth and natural science.
20
Semicolon
A semicolon signals a break within a sentence. It is stronger than a comma but
less than a full stop like a period. In sentences that use several commas, the
semicolon is useful to enable readers identify the break or division of items in a
list already used with a comma.
Examples: The schools invited to represent Metro Manila for the annual parade
are St. John the Baptist, Manila; Jose Rizal High School, Pasay; and St. Mary's
Academy, Quezon City.
I danced like a monkey in class yesterday; it was embarrassing.
