Punctuation
➭ Punctuation marks are like road signs in English. They tell us when to stop and give a pause or raise your pitch for a question. Their role can be to indicate whether the sentence is framing a question, stating a fact or making an order. A total of fourteen punctuation marks exist in English.
➭ Capitalization is a vital part of punctuation. It is used for proper nouns like particular names and places and in the beginning of a sentence. They signal that a new sentence is starting and throw light on the important words.
