Correct punctuation is the proper use of punctuation marks within a sentence to provide a clear meaning, where a change in punctuation can alter that meaning. Examples: "This bus goes downtown." (statement) "This bus goes downtown?" (question) --- The boy said, "Let's eat, Grandma!" The boy said, "Let's eat Grandma." (he's a cannibal?)
You use a period inside of quotation marks when the quote you are using ends in a full stop and the sentence in which the quotation takes place is also ending.Example:She said, "He has not done his homework."
The missing punctuation mark is a period. The correct sentence should be: "Teacher said, 'Come follow me.'"
