Punctuation marks are divided into two categories: dots and marks. Dots mainly indicate various pauses in sentences, and some also express mood; labels indicate the nature and function of words or sentences.
1 ? Period. : Indicates the pause at the end of a declarative sentence or the pause at the end of an imperative sentence or an exclamatory sentence with a soothing tone. (Example: ① The spring flowers bring a strong fragrance. ② Please say it again. ③ Who doesn’t know that he did this.)
2 ? Question mark? : Indicates the pause at the end of a question. (Example: ① Where did you come from? ② Do you still need to treat the bugs on the leaves?)
3 ? Exclamation mark! : Indicates the pause at the end of an exclamatory sentence and the pause at the end of a strong imperative sentence or a rhetorical question. (Example: ① What a peaceful wilderness this is! ② There is nothing in the world that does not contain contradictions! ③ Stand up!
4 ? Comma: indicates a general pause in the middle of the sentence. (Example: Feng Zikai, formerly known as Fengrun, also known as Fengren, is a famous modern Chinese painter, writer, artist and music educator)
5 ? Pause,: indicates a pause between parallel words within a sentence. (Example: Cows are full of treasures. Their meat can be eaten, their milk can be drank, and their liver, spleen, bones, and nose can be used as medicine.
6? Semicolon;: Indicates parallel clauses in a complex sentence. The pause in between helps to distinguish the level of the clause. Use a semicolon in complex sentences where the level cannot be clearly expressed with a comma (for example: he is very tall; his face is pale and there are some scars between the wrinkles; there is a scar on his chin. A shaggy gray beard.)
7 ? Colon: Indicates a pause after a suggestive utterance or before a general utterance. It is also commonly used after a salutation in letters and speeches (for example: on the market. It is filled with vegetables: spinach, celery, leeks, cucumbers, etc., there are so many varieties!
8 ? Dash——: (1) means explanation (for example: the four great inventions of ancient China—— Papermaking, printing, the compass, and gunpowder have made great contributions to the development of world history.) (2) Use a dash before and after the words in the text (Example: I didn’t know what the so-called 繹 was at that time. This thing - I don’t know it yet - just looks like a puppy and is very ferocious for no reason)? (3) Indicates the interruption, pause and prolongation of speech (for example: "Du -" the train has entered the station. .) (4) Used before the subtitle of an article. (5) To express a change of meaning. (Example: "It's so cold today - when will you go back to Beijing?" Fangfang said to Tai Lei who had just entered. ) (6) Indicates the progression of semantic meaning. (Example: Naturally, read, read, and memorize - and recite it.
