Punctuation

PUNCTUATION
Punctuation marks on a page are similar to signs on a road. They guide you and direct you.

Don’t drink and drive.
Please come here.

2. A question mark ( ? ) ends an interrogative sentence and questions.


Do you live in Pasadena?

3. An exclamation mark ( ! ) ends an exclamatory sentence (a sentence that contains a lot of emotion).

Stop!
Don’t call me again!


4. A comma ( , ) separates items in a list.
