Chapter 3: Punctuation Marks
Among common grammatical
errors in the English language, punctuation
errors are the most common. If you are not a good reader, you might not be
able to detect the blunders. Punctuation
implies using spacing, signs, and
some other symbols with the intention of making readers understand either
spoken or written texts.
When you communicate, punctuation marks enable
you to appear like an expert. Whether
you are speaking or writing, there is
always a need to punctuate. In fact, English grammar isn’t complete without
punctuation marks. Let’s look at some simple illustrations:
1. Since the launch of Ruger 57 other critical reviews have it that Ruger 57
Company has not only fulfilled its mission but has also overtaken its
competitors in the handguns market thanks to its outstanding innovation and
development invested.
2. “Since the launch of Ruger 57, other critical reviews have it that Ruger 57
Company has
not only fulfilled its mission, but has also overtaken its
competitors in the handguns market – thanks to
its outstanding innovation
and development invested.”
3. “In the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was
God.”
4. “In the beginning was the word; the word was with God
,
and the word was
God.”
If you are not a good reader, you might not be able to make sense of what is
written in the first and third paragraphs. And now, when you read the second
and fourth paragraphs, you’d realize that you could decipher the paragraphs
easily and make sense of what is written. Your ability to do this is credited to
punctuation at work in the paragraphs.
Another fact about punctuation is that it helps you to make diverse meanings
from a sentence. A popular example will give you a clear meaning here:
