For academic papers, you should follow the appropriate style guide for your course. For example, the Modern Language Associations (MLA's) style handbook allows single spaces after periods and other terminal/concluding marks but also allows double spaces.

Some punctuation marks should have no spaces following. For example, quotation marks should be neither preceded nor followed by a space, as seen in the following example:

  • My friend said, "How are you?"

Notice, however, that there is a single space after the comma in the example above. It is not a terminal/concluding mark and, according to the MLA, should always have a single space following it.

Other styles include the American Psychological Association (APA) style and Chicago style. These styles have different rules concerning spaces after punctuation marks.

How can you use the word periods in a sentence?

Many disciplines use epochs, eras, and periods to label historical times. I failed my typing test because I put two periods after a sentence. The girl stated her periods were always regular, every 28-days. Three periods typed one after another in writing is called an ellipsis, but two periods is a mistake in punctuation. Emily Bronte, the famous writer, used many periods in her text, an effective use of ellipsis.
