<h3>1. Why are punctuantion marks, like the comma and the semi-colon important?</h3>
Punctuation marks, like the comma and the semi-colon, are very important since effective communication in English also requires competence in the correct use of other punctuation marks. Of course, students are presumed to have learned the correct use of punctuation marks and capitalization in the ten years of exposure to the English language both in formal and informal settings. In this review, it is hoped that what students learned will be reinforced so they will develop more competence in observing the standards of punctuation.
<h3>2. Give examples of punctuation marks.</h3>
<u>PUNCTUATION MARKS</u>
1. <em>Period</em> ( . ) is placed after the end of a sentence.
- Ex. Help prevent drug addiction.
2. <em>Comma</em> ( , ) are the most commonly used mark of punctuation. Probably, it is because of this reason that it poses more writing problems compared to other marks.
- Ex. The father, after ten years of absence from the Philippines is home at last.
3. <em>Exclamation point</em> ( ! ) is used after sentences that express strong feeling or excitement.
- Ex. Help!
- Ex. What a view!
4. <em>Question Mark</em> ( ? ) ends a direct question
- Ex. What is a Filipino?
- Ex. Are you proud to be one?
5. <em>Semi-colon</em> ( ; ) joins closely related sentences.
- Ex. The Filipinos need a better life; they don't need a bitter life.
6. <em>Hyphen</em> ( - ) is used to divide or join words as in
a. Some compound words
Mother-in-law re-example
Forget-me-nots twenty-one
Self-control self-study
b. Syllabication
Interferes = in-ter-feres
Nevermore = nev-er-more
Well, most of the time it will be a clause.
But they may be different
hope I helped !!!
