➙ A proper sentence is always followed with a capital letter and punctuation mark. It is clear that stops may alter the sense of sentence.
- Punctuation means the right use of such stops.
There are many punctuation marks like full stop, commas, inverted commas, etc.
We have to begin the sentence with capital letter to make it clear and easily readable. Pauses are necessary in the sentences as they can alter meaning so punctuations play vital role in framing proper sentence.
