How to Use Punctuation Marks
Punctuation marks are symbols that indicate pauses, sentence endings, emphasis, questions, quotations, relationships between ideas, and the structure of written language. Familiar marks such as the period, comma, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, and semicolon make sentences easier to understand. Quotation marks identify dialogue or borrowed words, while brackets and parentheses group extra information. Dashes can show a break in thought or connect a range, and an ellipsis indicates omitted words or a trailing pause.
