  1. End Punctuation By: Sophia Manley, Alyssa Mora, Joe Hill, and Michael Rodgers

  2. End Marks • End marks indicate the end of a sentence, word, or phrase. • Types of punctuation: period, question mark, and an exclamation point.

  3. What is a Period? • Period – used to end a sentence or is used after most abbreviations

  4. Periods at the end of Sentences • Periods are used at the end of Declarative sentences. • Periods can also be used at the end of most Imperative sentences. • Use periods to end a sentence that contains an indirect question. • Indirect question- restates a question in a declarative sentence without giving the speakers exact words.

  5. Examples for periods in sentences • Ex: My favorite type of ice cream is chocolate. Declarative sentence • Ex: Please go clean up your room before you leave. Imperative sentence • Ex: John asked me if I wanted to go to dinner with him. Indirect question

  6. Abbreviations and Initials • A period will be used after most abbreviations and initials. • Ex: Saint- St.,Mister-Mr., Misses- Mrs., Avenue- Ave., Sophia F.Manley • The abbreviation for inch, in., is the only measurement that requires a period after it. • When a sentence ends with an abbreviation do not put an extra period. • Ex: Today, we will be driving down Main St.

  7. Acronyms • Acronyms- words that are formed with the first letters of each word inside of a name or title • Acronyms will never have periods • Ex: SWAT- Special Weapons And Tactics

  8. Using Question Marks • Question mark- used after a word, phrase, or sentence that asks a question

  9. Interrogative Sentences • Interrogative sentence- a sentence that asks a question • A question mark always ends interrogative sentences. • Ex: Do you like the shoes that are being sold in the mall?

  10. Words or phrases that ask questions • A question mark is needed after a word or phrase that asks a question. • Many times a word or phrase is used to ask a question, but this type of question is punctuated as a complete sentence. The words that are left out are easily understood. • Ex: I would like to go to the movies with you. When?

  11. Exclamation Marks • Exclamation marks- used to end words or phrases, exclamatory sentences, or imperative sentences with strong emotion. • Ex: That rollercoaster was so much fun!- exclamatory sentence

  12. Imperative Sentences • An exclamation mark is needed after an imperative sentence that gives a forceful or urgent command. • Ex: Don’t climb up the tree during the night!

  13. Interjections • Interjections are ended with an exclamation mark, but only if it shows strong emotion. • Ex: Wow! Look at how big that sticky note is. • Don’t use exclamation points too often, because overusing them reduces their emotion and makes writing less effective. • Incorrect: Wow! That painting is amazing! • Correct: Wow! That painting is amazing.
