to spell the first letters of places, things and people (capital
letters).
2. This piece of punctuation shows us a question has been
asked (question mark).
3. When we see this punctuation, we know to take a little
pause. These also make longer sentences easier to read
(commas).
4. This punctuation shows exactly what a character has said
(speech marks).

(exclamation mark).
