Making Your Writing Clear with Punctuation

Punctuation marks are like road signs for reading. They show when to pause, stop, or get excited!

Common Punctuation Marks

• Comma (,): Shows a pause or separates items in a list.
• Question Mark (?): Ends a question.
• Exclamation Point (!): Shows excitement or surprise.
