WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT PUNCTUATION MARKS ?

When speaking, we can pause or change the tone of our voices to indicate or emphasize emotions such as joy, anger, surprise or even a pause. When writing, we must use punctuation to indicate these places of emphasis. 

GRAMMAR BLOG

Grammar is an ancient field of study dating back to 2400 years ago when the world renowned Greek philosopher Plato divided the sentence into subject and verb. 

                            Sentence = subject + verb

To learn more about this lets take a quick peek into the 8 parts of speech:

---

               Nouns

               Pronouns

               Verbs

               Adverbs

               Adjectives

               Prepositions

               Conjunctions

               Interjections

                         +

               Determiners

This brings to my mind the nursery rhyme about the 8 parts of speech.

             Every name is called a noun,

                  As field and fountain, street and town.

             In place of noun the pronoun stands,

                As he and she can clap their hands.

            The adjective describes a thing,

                As magic wand or bridal ring.

           Most verbs mean action, something done,

               To read and write, to jump and run.

           How things are done the adverbs tell,

              As quickly, slowly, badly, well.

          The preposition shows relation,

              As in the street or at the station.

         Conjunctions join, in many ways,

             Sentences, words, or phrase and phrase.

         The interjection cries out, “Heed!

            An exclamation point must

                     Follow me!”
