Punctuation and Capital letters
Punctuation and Capital letters
The word 'punctuation' is derived from the Latin word 'punctum' or point, and refers to the use of putting in Points or Stops in writing, in order to increase readability. There are quite a few punctuation marks, each having a separate usage.
In the last part of this article (Read: Punctuation and Capital letters: All about the rules and usage (Part 1) ), we looked at the rules of using capital letters, the usages of the three dashes (hyphen, en dash, em dash), how to differentiate between semicolons and colons, and all about ellipses and full stops.
The other main punctuation marks, along with their usage are discussed below:
Comma (,)
The comma, which represents the shortest pause, has various uses as listed below:
1. Used in writing lists, to separate a series of words, phrases, or independent clauses.
Example: I am taking art history, Russian literature, microeconomics, and macroeconomics next semester. (A comma used before 'and' to clarify the sentence is called an Oxford comma or a serial comma. The last comma helps the reader understand that macroeconomics is one course, while microeconomics is another separate course.)
2. To separate non-restrictive or non-essential words or phrases, which are appearing at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence, from the main clause.
Examples: In my opinion, the movie was more compelling than the book. (To separate phrase at beginning) The hotel, once we finally found it, was very nice. (To separate phrase in middle) We will not be attending the reception, however. (To separate word at end)
But if the word ending the sentence is an adverb, which is essential to the meaning of the sentence, then no comma should be used.
Example: We took the train instead.
3. To separate multiple adjectives describing the same noun
