Punctuation refers to the symbol, marking and signs used in a sentence to give them structure. Punctuation shows how a sentence means and how it should be read. Every sentence might have one or more commas, full stops, Exclamation marks or question marks which are called punctuation. Here are some punctuations which complete a sentence.

• Comma (,)

A comma is used when a sentence needs to be paused before proceeding, separates items on a list, using more adjectives like (beautiful, pretty, cool, talented and well mannered). A comma is usually used to give a pause to a sentence. Here is an example of using a comma.

(B) Full Stop (.)

Full Stop is used when a sentence is completed. Use of full stop is not too difficult and at the end of every sentence using it is a must. Here is an example of using Full Stop.
