A simple full stop is best.


Which is correct lies in the fact or lays in the fact?

The correct phrase is "lies in the fact," which means something is based on or can be attributed to a specific fact or situation. "Lays" is the present tense form of the verb "to lay," which typically requires an object and is not appropriate for this context.


How does grammar and punctuation impact your writing?

before continuing to the answer below (written by someone else) I would like to point out that grammar and punctuation don't "impact" my writing at all, however both HAVE an impact on my writing. IMPACT is NOT a verb, except in the case of e.g., a meteorite impacting the earth. I would also like to point out in this wiki-question the fact that "how does" should be "how do". i.e., "how do grammar and punctuation affect your writing" would be the correct way to write this question. "How does" would only be correct if one were asking either about grammar *or* punctuation, not both. In short: Significantly. Punctuation is a set of instructions to the reader, almost as important as the letters themselves. Where letters tell which sounds to make, punctuation acts as direction for silences and pitch. For instance, a question mark means you raise the pitch of the words before it, and a comma indicates that you pause briefly. A full stop indicates a lowering of the pitch and a pause. Punctuation is the musical annotation of the language. Grammar is important in a different way. It structures the sentences. While different people may have different accents and thus pronounce words differently, what grammar ensures is that there is a regularity to the order the words are used in. When we listen (or read) we naturally expect a certain order, a certain use of different forms of words, based on what we've heard / read before. Grammar is that structure. If someone speaks with a different grammar from what we expect, it makes it more difficult to follow the conversation / text.


Is he at office a correct statement?

"Is he at office?" is in fact correct, but a very old fashioned way of making that statement. A more current way would be "Is he in the office?" or "Is he in his office?"


In English which one is correct 'i didn't hear the phone ring' or 'You didn't hear the phone ring'?

Both correct. It depends on what you're describing. "I didn't ... " means you're describing the fact that you, yourself, did not hear the phone ring. "You didn't ..." means you're describing to another person the fact that the other person didn't hear it ring.

How do you be punctual?

If you want to be punctual, be early. Chronically late people think that they can always arrive right on the dot. They forget the fact that the time it takes them to get to their destination isn't the same every time. Punctual people plan for the worst; if the worst happens they arrive right on time, if it doesn't, they arrive early.
