Punctuation is a subset of grammar. However, we have decided to give the punctuation category its own section on the Write Correctly website.
We often see punctuation used incorrectly, or not used to its full potential. Understanding how to use punctuation and when the best times are to use each mark can make your documents easier to read and more engaging than they otherwise may be.
Common punctuation includes:
- Full stop (.)
- Comma (,)
- Colon (:)
- Semicolon (;)
- Apostrophe (‘)
- Speech marks (“)
