Explanation:

Punctuation, is derived from the Latin word "a point". It typically guides you to put a full stop or other required punctuation marks at a right place.

Here are some punctuations :-

• Full stop ( . ) : Full stop represents the greatest pause entirely. It's considered as the end of a declarative or imperative sentence.

• Comma ( , ) : It is the shortest pause you put between a sentence when required.

• Colon ( : ) : These are represented as a complete pause.

• Question mark ( ? ) : It is used to close a interrogative sentence.

• Exclamation mark ( ! ) : It is used to express some sort of sudden emotions.

• Inverted Commas ( " ) : It is used to quote something that someone must have said.

• Dash ( — ) : it's used to indicate abrupt stop or a sudden change of thought.

• Hyphen ( – ) : (shorter than a dash) it is used to connect the parts of a compound word.

• Apostrophe ( ' ) : Apostrophe is used to show the omission of letters.

• Capitals : Proper uses of capital letters are also considered as a part of punctuating.
