The Mechanics of Writing: End Punctuation Practise sentence writing techniques involving end punctuation.
Fullstop

| Place a period after a complete statement. Example: Margaret is at home.
| Place a period after common abbreviations (but not after acronyms such as UN, USA, SEA, etc.). Example: Dr., Mr., etc

Question Mark

| Place a question mark at the end of a direct question. Example: Is your mother at home?
| When a question contains another question, use a single question mark and place it in the embedded question. Example: Did he say, "Are you going?"
| Do not use a question mark after an indirect question. Use the period. Example: She asked me what time I arrive.

Exclaimation Point

| Place an exclaimation point after a word or a group of words that express strong feeling. This shows emphasis. Example: That is wonderful! Do not use double exclamation points. Use the period or comma for mild exclamatory words, phrases or sentence.
