What else can I help you with?
How many periods after etc at the end of a sentence?
If a sentence ends with an abbreviated word then only one period (full stop) is used.
Is is correct to put a period after etc then close the parenthesis then a period outside the parenthesis at the end of a sentence?
Actually it should look like this (cars, airplanes, trains, etc.). But if the sentence ends with an abbreviation, the single period will serve to end the sentence, as in cars, airplanes, trains, etc. You do not use double periods. You can, however, use a question mark or exclamation point after a period that ends a sentence. Were you talking about cars, airplanes, trains, etc.? If this looks unusual, it is because abbreviations, such as etc., are generally avoided at the ends of sentences.
Do you put another period at the end of a sentence that ends in the word etc if etc is in parenthesis?
No, you do not need to add an additional period if "etc." is within parentheses at the end of a sentence. The period that ends the abbreviation "etc." also serves as the sentence-ending punctuation.
Do you put another period at the end of a sentence that ends in the word etc.?
No, you do not put an extra period after "etc." since the period at the end of "etc." serves as the ending punctuation for the sentence.
If etc is at the end of a sentence in parentheses is there 2 periods?
No, if "etc." is at the end of a sentence in parentheses, you only need one period. The period in "etc." serves as the punctuation for the abbreviation, and there is no need for an additional period to end the sentence.
Do you put another period at the end of a sentence that ends in the word etc?
Et cetera is abbreviated to etc. No second period is needed but you will sometimes find one anyway.
What do three periods at the end of a sentence mean?
Three periods at the end of a sentence, known as an ellipsis, are used to indicate an omission of words in a quote or a pause in speech. It can also convey a sense of suspense, trailing off, or unfinished thought.
When should you spell numbers in a sentence?
If it is ten and over then you spell it. (ten, eleven, twelve...etc.)
When do you use with etc with 3 periods versus 1 period?
Etc. is an abbreviation of et cetera or etcetera. Etc., not e.t.c., is the correct grammatical abbreviation. I hope your periods etc. stop fighting each other.
Can Neither be the first word in the beginning of sentence?
Yes, it can. "Neither ABC nor XYZ can/should/are/etc. ...".
What word is missinng in the sentence the monster the stairs?
You need a positional word to show the monster's relationship to the stairs: under, on, etc.
What is run off sentence?
An answer that basically almost never ends. Haha, likeee Bob was good, and he was smart, and he liked red, and he was cute, and he knew how to tie his shoes, and he was stupid, and he was ... etc. LOLOL
