Punctuation

Punctuation reminders

Capital letters start sentences and names. A comma separates items and clauses. A question mark ends a question; an exclamation mark shows strong emotion. Quotation marks frame the words someone says. The apostrophe shows possession (Macbeth's crown) or a missing letter (don't).
