Answer 1

Answer:

Ashangbi lovingly asks, "Have you finished your study, my dear?".

Explanation:

• Punctuation is the use of intervals, traditional symbols, and certain typographic devices as aids in understanding and correctly reading written text, whether read aloud or silently.
• Punctuation marks fill our sentences with quiet intonation.
• Use commas, periods, exclamation points, or question marks to pause, stop, emphasize, or ask questions.
• Correct punctuation gives your writing clarity and accuracy.
• Writers can stop, pause, or emphasize specific parts of a sentence. This may vary by citation style, so check the style guide for accuracy.
• Enclose periods and commas in quotation marks.
• Place semicolons and colons outside the quotation marks.
• If you just want to underline a quote, put a question mark or exclamation mark inside the quotes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The sentence can be punctuated as follows-

Ashangbi lovingly asks, "Have you finished your study, my dear?"

Explanation:  

• To punctuate a sentence means to add or insert suitable punctuation marks or symbols to writing so that one can see when a sentence starts and ends, identify that something posed a question or piece of exclamation etc.

• Most commonly, punctuating means inserting standard signs such as periods, commas, and exclamation points) into written sentences to make the meaning correct and clear.

• We often punctuate sentences to give the reader additional information, such as when a sentence ends, whether or not that sentence is a question, and when a series of words might be a list.

Punctuation Marks:

• "Punctuation" is the set of symbols or certain typographic devices that we use to separate written sentences and parts of sentences and to stop, pause, or emphasize specific parts of a sentence and make their meaning clear. This sign/symbol is called a "punctuation mark".

• Punctuations, such as a full stop/ period(.), comma(,) and apostrophe ('), and exclamatory sign(!), question mark (?) are the symbols used in writing to separate the elements of sentences and create and support meaning within a sentence or to break it up to clarify meanings.

• It is really important to make a sentence clear, correct and accurate so that it can be well-understood. These marks are helpful in how ideas are conveyed to the reader properly.

• Since in the given sentence, a question is asked by the speaker and it is in the direct speech narration (exact representation of the speaker's words), we will use the quotation or speech marks (" "), and the comma(,) to separate the phrases and a question mark(?) to denote it as a question.

Hence, the punctuated sentence would be-

Ashangbi lovingly asks, "Have you finished your study, my dear?"
