  2. Three Types of Punctuation • The three types of end punctuation are: • Period • Question Mark • Exclamation Point

  3. Period • A period is the most common form of punctuation used at the end of a sentence. When you are reading you STOP when you see a period. When you are writing and you want your sentence to end, you may add a period.

  4. When Do I Use a Period? • When you write a sentence that “makes a statement” you use a period. • For example: The little boy walked across the street. • When you write a sentence that “gives a command” you would also use a period. • For example: Clean your room.

  5. Question Mark • A question mark is used at the end of a sentence when you are asking a question. When reading a sentence with a question mark your voice goes up at the end. • For example: Can you come over my house after school?

  6. Exclamation Point • An exclamation point is used at the end of a sentence when you want to show a strong feeling about something or are using a loud voice. • For example: Wow! He just won first prize!
