 Punctuation is a set of symbols used in writing to help indicate something about the structure of sentences, or to assist readers in knowing when to change the rhythm or the stress of their speaking. Depending on the style of writing and the language used, punctuation may tend towards one of these purposes more than the other. Common units of punctuation in English and many other languages include the comma, period, apostrophe, quotation mark, question mark, exclamation mark, bracket, dash, hyphen, ellipsis, colon, and semicolon. Each of these units indicates a different thing, and some may have multiple meanings depending on context.

puntuation makes our expression clearer and easier to follow.  We use stops or marks of puntuation to separate one sentence from another, or one part of a sentence from another part. 

the main marks of punctuations are :- 

(a) full stop (.) 
(b) comma (,)
(c) semicolon ( ;) 
(d) colon ( :)
(e)marks of interrogation (?) 
(f) mark of exclamation (!)
(g) inverted commas/ quotation marks ( '' '' )  

ex : from where you learn guitar
ans : From where you learn guitar?
(ii)  reema said  i am going to anjali house tomorrow
ans: Reema said, "  I am going to Anjali's house tomorrow.
(iii) wow the drawing is so beautiful
ans: Wow! The drawing is so beautiful.
