1. Period (.)
A period is used to mark the end of a declarative sentence or statement.
 Usage:
o To end a sentence that gives information.

o For abbreviations (e.g., Dr., Mr., etc.).

 Examples:
o I like reading books.

o The meeting starts at 9 a.m.

2. Comma (,)
A comma helps separate ideas, items, or clauses to make the sentence
clearer.
 Usage:
o To separate items in a list: "I bought apples, bananas, and
oranges."
o To separate clauses: "When it rains, I stay inside."

o After introductory words: "Well, I think we should go now."

o Before conjunctions in compound sentences: "I was hungry, but


there was no food."

3. Question Mark (?)


A question mark is used at the end of a sentence to indicate a question.
 Usage:
o To ask direct questions: "What time is it?"

o For rhetorical questions: "Who doesn’t like holidays?"

 Examples:
o Where is the library?

o Do you want to join us?

4. Exclamation Point (!)


An exclamation point shows strong emotion, excitement, or surprise.
 Usage:
o For commands or strong emotions: "Watch out!"

o To express joy or excitement: "I won the game!"

 Examples:
o Help!

o This is amazing!

5. Capitalization
Capitalization means writing the first letter of a word in uppercase. It is used
to mark important words.

o Days, months, holidays: "I was born in January."

o Titles and important words: "Mr. Smith is our teacher."

Summary of the Rules in One Sentence

frustration.

o Wow! (Surprise)

o Oops! (Mistake)

o Yay! (Joy)

o Ouch! (Pain)
