Punctuation - Commas, Inverted Commas and
Semicolon
We put commas , when
we write names in the list.
A comma represents the shortest pause.
For eg France, Italy, Belgium and England are in Europe.
Remember:- A comma is never put before
or after 'and'. We use inverted commas ""
when we say the exact words of a speaker.For
eg. Piggy said, "Can I have it?"
Remember:- After opening the inverted commas,
the words begin with a capital. In the sentence, "Can
I have it?", 'C' is written in capital.
A semicolon ; is used to show
a pause which is more important than a comma. It is
used to separate a series of loosely related clauses.
For eg. He was a great man; he was honest and bold too.
