Definition Of Punctuation:

Punctuation marks are signs. We use them in sentences to make the meaning clear or structural portions of writing. They are a standardized simbols such as comma, period, question mark, exclamation point, semicolon, apostrophe, quotation marks, colon, dash, italic, parentheses, brackets and hypen.

Knowing a few simple rules and following a set of guidelines can make a writing experience, in any situation, easier to manage. The rules for all these forms of grammar have evolved over hundreds of years of use.
