There are 10 commonly used punctuation marks, divided into two categories: period marks and punctuation marks.
The function of the period mark is to punctuate, mainly indicating pauses and tone when speaking. Dots are divided into sentence-ending dots and intra-sentence dots. The period mark at the end of a sentence is used at the end of a sentence. There are three types: period, question mark, and exclamation mark. It indicates the pause at the end of the sentence and also indicates the tone of the sentence. Intra-sentence dots are used within sentences, and there are four types: commas, pauses, semicolons, and colons, indicating various types of pauses within the sentence.
Punctuation marks are symbols that assist written language recording and are an integral part of written language. They are used to express pauses, tone, and the nature and function of words.
