THERE ARE 10 TYPES OF PUNCTUATION MARK
1) FULL STOP.
2) COMMA,
3) SEMICOLON;
4) COLON:
FULL STOP.
A full stop is a punctuation mark that is used to end a sentence. In
American English, it's known as a period. When repeated three
times, it becomes an ellipsis, which is used to indicate omitted
words.
Full stop (.), also called 'period', is used to mark the end of a
declarative sentence or an imperative sentence. It essentially marks a
pause greater than the one marked by a comma and is also used to
suggest that there is nothing more to say on a topic
FOR EXAMPLE- 1)I like to eat pizza.
2)School starts on Wednesday.
3)The baby's name is Grace.
COMMA
The comma, is a punctuation mark that appears in several variants in different
languages. It has the same shape as an apostrophe or single closing quotation
mark in many typefaces, but it differs from them in being placed on the baseline
of the text.
A comma (,) signifies a short pause in a sentence. It can also divide the
parts of a sentence or items in a list. And, it is often used to create
division or to improve the clarity of a sentence. Clearly, a comma has
many roles as a punctuation mark.
FOR Example: 1)My estate goes to my husband, son,
daughter-in-law, and nephew.
2)GOD LOVES ALL, THE RICH AND POOR, THE HIGH
AND LOW, THE GREAT AND SMALL.
SEMICOLON
The semi-colon; is a symbol commonly used as orthographic punctuation. In the English
language, a semicolon is most commonly used to link two independent clauses that are
closely related in thought. When a semicolon joins two or more ideas in one sentence, those
ideas are then given equal rank
Use a semicolon to join two related independent clauses in place of a comma and a
coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet). Make sure when you use the
semicolon that the connection between the two independent clauses is clear without the
coordinating conjunction
FOR EXAMPLE-1)He wrote verse; he wrote plays of great Merit; he wrote novels of wonder.
2) His face was serene ; his tongue sweet; his life pure.
3) Shaw ate no flesh; drank no alcohol; smoked no tobacco.
colon
The colon: is a punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots
placed one above the other on the same vertical line. A colon often
precedes an explanation, a list, or to introduce a quoted sentence.
You can also use a colon to introduce an explanation or a definition
of something. For instance: I'll tell you what I'm going to do: I'm
going to quit! "Elephant (noun): a large grey mammal found in Africa
and India."
