Overview

Writing is quite different from speaking. in speaking you can add expression what you say. Expression means what you do with your voice, or with your hands and face, while you are talking. You can make your voice go up or down; you can make it loud or soft. You can pause. You can hesitate. You can repeat things. But In writing there are no voices or faces or hands to give expression. written words are just flat on the page. To bring it to life , you need punctuation marks:
Full stop . Question mark ? Exclamation mark  ! Comma , Colon  : Semicolon  ; Dash - Brackets ( )

Full stop (period or dot)

whether a sentence is short or long, it needs a full stop at the end. Full stops come at the end of certain sentences. You can put as much information into one long sentence as you can put into several short ones. Good writing is a mixture of short, medium, and long sentences.

Example:

The management of the patient with acute decompensated heart failure depends upon whether the patient has acute decompensated systolic heart failure or acute decompensated diastolic heart failure.

Question mark  ?

There are sentences which ask you something. It’s used only after questions. Questions, as you would expect, end with a question mark, and like all sentences they begin with a capital letter.

Example:

Is the patient symptomatic?

Exclamation mark  !

It is used for sentences which have anger or surprise or urgency or amusement or annoyance in them. An urgent or angry command can have an exclamation mark. Commands can be very short sometimes as short as one word.

Example:

Comma ,

The job of the comma is to make sentences-particularly longer sentences-easier to read. When you are reading aloud, commas usually mark a slight pause, or change of voice. Often when you name someone, or something, you need a description as well.

Example:

A comma is useful between the name and the description.

Example:

Commas are also useful to show the joins in a sentence: for example, where a phrase or clause has been added, or two sentences made into one.

Example:

Commas are particularly important when the sentence has an extra part stuck in the middle. When this happens there should be a comma before and after the extra part.

Example:

Semicolon  ;

A semicolon marks a bigger break than a comma, but is not as final as a full stop. Unlike a comma , a semicolon can go between two sentences. Use a semicolon if the sentences are alike, or belong together. Unlike full stops, semicolons can come in the middle of sentences. Use them only when you want a strong break between two parts of your sentence.

Example:

Colon  :

You use a colon when have a list of things coming after a heading. A colon is used before giving an example – or examples – of something. You also use a colon between two sentences, when the first one says something, and the second one says what you mean by it. Colons are often found before instructions even if they are pictures.

Example:

Brackets ( )

Brackets come in pairs, with words, phrases, or sentences inside them. Inside brackets you put thing that may be helpful, but not really necessary. Sometimes just part of a sentence is in brackets.

Example:

Dash -

Dashes are sometimes used to mark a big break, or interruption, in a sentence. A dash can be used like a colon. Sometimes dashes are used instead of brackets. Dashes are very useful in writing speech and they are also very useful for showing where someone is interrupted, and doesn’t finish what they’re saying.

Start with a capital letter

When you start a new sentence, you should use a capital letter. Proper nouns-the words which name people, places or things – also begin with a capital letter, wherever they come in a sentence.
