Punctuation

Introduction The punctuation marks studied will be: Periods Question Marks Exclamation Points Quotations commas

The Period A period is used after statements, commands and requests: These are fresh apples. Close the door. Please, look at this report. After initials: George W. Bush, Harry S. Truman After abbreviations: Mr. Mrs. Ms. Dr. Ph.D. As a decimal point: 99.9% $3.56

Question Marks It is used after direct questions: Are you sure? When is the party? Did they play last night? and after intonation questions: He is the best player? That is the new car? Today is April Fool’s Day?

The Exclamation Point It expresses strong feelings, surprise, anger and other emotions. It may be placed after a word: No! Oh! Help! Yes! After a phrase: Happy birthday! No way! My God! After a sentence: I can’t wait for Christmas! I’m so happy for you!

Quotation Marks They include the exact words that someone says. There are direct quotes: Mike said,”I will be late.” and indirect quotes. Don’t use quotation marks with indirect quotes. Mike said he will be late. Periods and commas are placed inside the quotation marks unless they punctuate the main sentence.

Quotation Marks “I answered all the questions correctly,” said Peter. Examples: “I answered all the questions correctly,” said Peter. Kate asked, “Who can give me a ride to the mall?” “What is today’s date?” inquired Mary. Mary wondered, "I hope Billy wins the competition,” all afternoon. Milly screamed,”Don’t go in there!”

Commas They indicate a pause. They can separate items in a series: I’ll have fish, salad, and broccoli. They can separate phrases in a series: I bought a puzzle for me, a book for my mother, and clothes for my sister. Word used in pairs are treated as one item in a series: We ate macaroni and cheese, bread and butter, and orange juice.

Commas In dates and addresses: Our next meeting is on July 4, 2005, at the Flamingo Room. His new address is 3344 South Welling Street, Atlanta, GA 30200. In numbers: $3,456,786.06 (but not in years: 2005) In dialogues: As Oscar the Grouch said, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.” Separating adjectives: He wears depressing, black, severe clothes.
