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.



                      Tick ( ) if you know this.
                        Capitalisation means writing the first alphabet of a word in uppercase.

                         Apostrophe can be used to indicate the omission of some letters in a word.
                         Writing skill is an important part of communication.



                      PHRASES

              Phrase is a group of words together, but not a sentence that forms a complete meaning. It lacks the subject and the
              object. For example:

              •  On the roof
              •  Sleeping now
              •  Cannot eat
              •  Trying hard
