Examples

Topics → Definition Example

Example: 1a

Do you know who will be taking tomorrow’s lecture!

Correct sentence: Do you know who will be taking tomorrow’s lecture?

The sentence is an interrogative sentence (that asks a question) and should be punctuated with a question mark.

Example: 2a

Someday, I would very much like to travel to Australia?

Correct sentence: Someday, I would very much like to travel to Australia.

The sentence is a declarative sentence and should be punctuated with a period. A question mark is used to punctuate an interrogative sentence. Commas and dashes are never used to end a sentence.

Example: 3a

After turning right onto Royal Street, walk five more blocks and then turn left onto Main Street:

Correct sentence: After turning right onto Royal Street, walk five more blocks and then turn left onto Main Street.

The sentence is an imperative sentence and should be punctuated with a period and not with a question mark. Commas and colons are never used to punctuate the end of a sentence.
