Punctuation

While writing in English, it is important that you use punctuation correctly. Therefore, in preparation for your writing test, we are going to discuss the following types of punctuation:

- full stop (.)

- comma (,)

- colon (:)

- semicolon (;)

- apostrophe (') 

- exclamation mark (!)

- question mark (?) 

Mind your punctuation!

Punctuation: a period

A period '.' > at the end of each sentence. 

Avoid stringing sentences on: 

Yesterday I went to school and there I studied English 

and I also saw my friends. 

Yesterday I went to school. There I studied English. 

I also saw my friends.
