PERIOD
A period is a small dot-shaped punctuation mark
that is used at the end of any sentence that is
intended to make a statement.

EXAMPLE:
 My dog retrieves the paper for me each morning.
 Gloria wants to be a nurse after she finishes high school.
 Our city’s police cars are painted black and white.
COMMA
A comma is a punctuation mark that separates items in a list and
marks the divisions within sentences.

EXAMPLE:
 We visited Tanjung Malim, Perak last week.
 London, England, is a destination everyone should visit at least once.
 Hi, I am Ali.
 Mom bought eggs, fish, chicken, and prawns from the market.
CAPITAL LETTER
QUESTION MARK
The main purpose of a question mark, perhaps unsurprisingly, is to indicate
that a sentence is a question. Direct questions often (but not always) begin
with a wh- word (who, what, when, where, why).

Example :
 Why did the chicken cross the road?
 Why are you crying?
 Is she beautiful?
EXCLAMATION MARK
Usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate
strong feelings or high volume (shouting), or to show emphasis.

 Example:
 Careful! That spider is poisonous.
 Wow! That’s beautiful.
PRONOUN ‘I’
It's only necessary to capitalize other pronouns when they begin a sentence.
However, the pronoun "I" is always capitalized, no matter where it falls in
a sentence.

Example :
 My friend and I are going to the school today.
 My sister loves cakes but I hate them.
