              Punctuation Marks

              These are the symbols used to help the reader understand the proper meaning of a sentence and where to pause
              or stop. Let us learn about some the punctuation marks in detail.
              Full Stop or Period (.)

              Full stop or period is used at the end of a sentence. We also use it to shorten a word to form an abbreviation. For
              example: Mr. for Mister, Col. for Colonel.
              Question Mark (?)

              Question mark is used to mark the end of any question asked in a direct speech. For example:
                 • How are you?

                 • Why did you not call me again?
              Exclamation Mark (!)

              Exclamation mark is used in a sentence to strongly express a feeling of happiness, sorrow, love, surprise etc.
              For Example:
                 • Wow! Such a pretty dress.
                 • Oh! You got hurt badly.
              Comma (,)

              Comma is used to mark a pause in a sentence.

              Any list of items mentioned in a sentence are separated by a comma. For example:
                 • I want a dress, shoes, watch and a box of chocolate for my birthday.
              It is sometimes used to separate two adjectives in a sentence. For example:
                 • I have a brown, fluffy golden retriever.

              A sentence with the location specified has a city separated by a comma from the state. For example:
                 • Mahatma Gandhi was born in Porbandar, Gujrat.

              When somebody is addressed in a direct speech. For example:
                 • Hi Swati, how is your job going on?
              Apostrophe (‘)

              Apostrophe can be used to indicate the omission of some letters in a word. For example:
                 • I’m enjoying my friend’s company.

                 • It’s very hot outside.
              It is used to show the possession of a thing. For example:
                 • Adrissa’s eyes are blue in colour.
