Punctuation

 Full stops- A full stop is mostly used at the end of a

declarative sentence, or a statement that is considered to
be complete. An example of this is “The dog is brown”.
 Comma- A comma indicates a brief pause; you could also
use it to separate words or word groups when listing items
or things. An example is The dog belongs to me, my
parents and brothers.
 Semi-colon- A semicolon may be used between
independent clauses joined by a connector, such as and,
but, or. Used to join 2 sentences into 1 and they would
make sense on their own. Example: I have a big test
tomorrow; I can't go out tonight.
 Colons- The colon is used to separate two independent
clauses when the second explains or illustrates the first.
Example: He got what he worked for: he really earned that
promotion.
 Exclamation mark- An exclamation mark is used to express
anger or frustration or excitement. An example is “This is
too much!”
 Dash- Use a dash to show a pause or break in meaning in
the middle of a sentence. Example : My brothers—Richard
and John—are visiting Hanoi.
 question mark- A question mark is used to show that you
are asking a question. An example is: “what time is the
party”
 Bracket- A bracket is used to give more information.
Example: He finally picked up the phone ( after 4 calls).
