What is a "punctuation mark"?
A punctuation mark is a symbol used in writing to clarify meaning, indicate pauses, or separate ideas. Common punctuation marks include the period (.), comma (,), question mark (?), exclamation point (!), and semicolon (;). Each mark serves a specific purpose, such as showing the end of a sentence, separating items in a list, or indicating a question or strong emotion. By organizing text and guiding the reader through the flow of ideas, punctuation marks enhance clarity and improve the overall understanding of written language.
Exemple
The semicolon is a versatile punctuation mark: it can link independent clauses and organize detailed lists.
