Q Write as many original sentences as needed to state anything you have learned about each of the punctuation marks listed below.

Professional writers and editors are always revisiting and reviewing the rules, refreshing their knowledge and rediscovering! • period • question mark • exclamation mark • semicolon • colon • comma Do not reference outside sources; use your own words. Once your paragraph has been posted, read classmates’ posts and respond to comment on differences you have noted between their posts and your own. Please note that you will not see classmates' postings until you have posted your own. Initial discussion posts are due by the fourth day of the academic week at 11:30 PM ET and responses to at least two classmates are expected by the last day of the academic week by 11:30 PM ET.

After going through this week’s study materials I gained enough knowledge about the punctuations and some of it I already knew but some were completely new to me. The technical aspects of each were not known to me previously. Period: this is the British full stop (.). I knew that its purpose is to stop the sentence and is generally used in declarative or assertive sentences or statements. I had forgotten completely that the period appears inside the quotation marks and not outside.
