There are many punctuation marks: period, comma, colon, and others
-via enchantedlearning.com-
apostrophe (´) an apostrophe is used as a substitute for a missing letter or
letters in a word (as in the contraction cannot = can't), to show the possessive
case (Jane's room), and in the plural of letters, some numbers and
abbreviations. Note: groups of years no longer require an apostrophe (for
example, the 1950s or the 90s). I can't see the cat's tail. Dot your i's and cross
your t's. 100's of years
colon (:) a colon is used before a list or quote. A colon is used to separate hours
and minutes. A colon is used to separate elements of a mathematical ratio. The
time is 2:15. / The ratio of girls to boys is 3:2
comma (,) a comma is used to separate phrases or items in a list. She bought
milk, eggs, and bread
dash (—) a dash is used to separate parts of a sentence. The dash is also known
as an "em dash" because it is the length of a printed letter m — it is longer than a
hyphen
ellipsis (...) an ellipsis (three dots) indicates that part of the text has been
intentionally been left out. 0, 2, 4, ... , 100
exclamation point (!) an exclamation point is used to show excitement or
emphasis. It is cold!
hyphen (-) a hyphen is used between parts of a compound word or name. It is
also used to split a word by syllables to fit on a line of text. The sixteen-year-old
girl is a full-time student
parentheses ( ) parentheses are curved lines used to separate explanations or
qualifying statements within a sentence (each one of the curved lines is called a
parenthesis). The part in the parentheses is called a parenthetical remark.
This sentence (like others on this page) contains a parenthetical remark
period (.) a period is used to note the end of a declarative sentence.I see the
house.
question mark (?) a question mark is used at the end of a question. When are we
going?
quotation mark (") quotation marks are used at the beginning and end of a
phrase to show that it is being written exactly as it was originally said or
written. She said, "Let's eat."
semicolon (;) a semicolon separates two independent clauses in a compound
sentence. A semicolon is also used to separate items in a series (where commas
are already in use). Class was canceled today; Mr. Smith was home sick.
Relatives at the reunion included my older brother, Bob; my cousin, Art; and my
great-aunt, Mattie.
