How to correctly use the punctuation marks in English

Sunday, February 14th, 2021



Questions based on Punctuation marks have been asked in competitive exams frequently. These concepts are really important if you are looking at some of the banking exams or exams like SNAP. It is a good way to check a person’s ‘Verbal Ability’. With the help of my friend Sanket, I have a compiled a set of some examples followed by some previous year questions that can help you understand the concept better.

The Purpose of Punctuation:

Punctuation is used to disambiguate a sentence by using spacing, conventional signs, and certain typographical devices

Punctuation introduces appropriate pauses in sentences, and elicits appropriate responses from the reader

Observe the difference in the following

Woman, without her man, is nothing – (Importance of men)

Woman: without her, man is nothing – (Importance of women)

Common Punctuation Marks:

•Full stop or Period (.)

•Comma (,)

•Semicolon (;)

•Colon (:)

•Quotation marks (“ __”, ‘__’)

•Question mark (?)

•Exclamation mark (!)

•Brackets ( ) [ ] {}

•Apostrophe (’)

•Hyphen (-)

•Dash (–) (—)

•Slash (/)

The Full Stop
