One period. The period in etc. also functions as the period for the end of the sentence.
If a sentence ends with an abbreviated word then only one period (full stop) is used.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Et cetera is abbreviated to etc. No second period is needed but you will sometimes find one anyway.
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.
If it is ten and over then you spell it. (ten, eleven, twelve...etc.)
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.
Yes, it can. "Neither ABC nor XYZ can/should/are/etc. ...".
You need a positional word to show the monster's relationship to the stairs: under, on, etc.
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
