PUNCTUATION POSTERS AND WORKSHEETS

PUNCTUATION
QUESTION MARK, EXCLAMATION POINT, PERIOD
SAMPLE POSTERS AND WORKSHEETS ARE BELOW



The period, full stop or point
The period (known as a full stop in British English) is probably the simplest of the punctuation mark to use. You use it like a knife to cut the sentences to the required length. Generally, you can break up the sentences using the full stop at the end of a logical and complete thought that looks and sounds right to you. 
*Mark at the end of a sentence which is not a question or an exclamation. 
*Indicate an abbreviation 
*Ellipsis
*Period after single word
*Periods in numbers
PUNCTUATION POSTERS
The question mark
Use the question mark at the end of all direct questions
*Do not use question mark for reported questions
*Long questions still need question marks
*Question marks can sometimes appear within sentences
PUNCTUATION WORKSHEETS
The exclamation mark
The exclamation mark is used to express exasperation, astonishment, or surprise, or to emphasize a comment or short, short phrase. In professional or everyday writing, exclamation marks are used sparingly if at all.
*You can also use exclamation marks to mark a phrase as humorous, ironic or sarcastic
*In every informal writing styles (SMS, chat, twitter, or Facebook, etc.), an exclamation mark is sometimes combined with a question mark to indicate both surprise and slight uncertainly. Double or triple exclamation marks and common in very informal writing styles, but are a sign of being uneducated in less casual correspondence.
