Punctuation Rules

You know those keys on your phone and keyboard that you use to make smiley :) faces when IMing your friends? Well, those keys are punctuation marks (signs used to separate words into clauses and sentences to clarify meaning). Here at YourDictionary, we have this to say about punctuation marks: "Comma Rules and Comma Usage are key, but unless you know When to Use Exclamation Marks and when to Italicize you'll only have a limited understanding of the Basic Punctuation Rules."  So, read our punctuation articles- including this guide to the Fourteen Punctuation Marks in English Grammar- to learn everything you need to know about punctuation; when you're done, you can identify the only two punctuation marks we've left out of this paragraph… it will be hands-down the most fun you've ever had, period!
