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.
