Periods Exclamation Points and Question Marks

A period does come before a quotation mark if the quotation at the end of the sentence, such as:

Lucy than said, "Hi, Mr. Warner."


If the quotation is not at the end of the sentence, use a comma instead of a period, such as:


"Hi, Mr. Warner," Lucy replied.

A vignette question is a type of question that presents a short scenario or story, often followed by a series of questions designed to assess the individual's reactions, thoughts, or proposals based on the given context. Vignette questions are commonly used in research studies, assessments, and interviews to evaluate problem-solving skills, decision-making processes, and ethical considerations.

No. Most sentences starting with MAYBE are declarative statements, and end with a full stop (period). Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word "maybe". No. Most sentences starting with MAYBE are declarative statements, and end with a full stop (period). Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word "maybe".

Three full stops, or 'periods' as some in the US call them, is called an ellipsis. In more formal writing it can indicate that the material you are quoting goes on, but the material is not relevant to your topic. In more casual writing, it can indicate that the writer isn't clear how to proceed, or it can indicate sarcasm, cynicism, doubt, or just a pause in the thought. You have to get a lot from context.

Yes, or excitement, surprise, urgency, or other strong feeling. Exclamation points are best used very sparingly. That means don't use them often (and never more than one at a time) in serious writing. They do not belong in formal writing at all, or only under very rare circumstance. But of course casual correspondence and e-mail don't have to follow the rues of formal English.

A theoretical question is one that seeks hypotheses. it looks to possibles rather than probables. theories come from paradigms and help one to examine or seek what is possible ie what is the experience of someone who is living a particular event. In the humanitites, theoretical questions are posed often via theoretical frameworks, investigating experiences.

The list is almost endless. UFO's, the human brain, God and the bible, the statues of Easter Island, unknow species such as Bigfoot, unknown and as yet undocumented species of the Amazonian rain forest, ghosts, the Bermuda Triangle.

A children's book or a graphic novel, such as "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle or "Captain Underpants" by Dav Pilkey, may have many exclamation marks to emphasize excitement or action in the story.

The reader can infer that the young person in question is likely filled with youthful energy and exuberance, possibly prone to being outspoken and enthusiastic. Their actions and expressions may be vibrant and dynamic, with a sense of excitement and passion punctuating their interactions.

"Wonderful" is not typically used as an exclamation on its own, but it can be part of a sentence that expresses excitement or admiration, such as "How wonderful it is to see you!" or "Isn't that view just wonderful!"

Raining exclamation marks is a metaphor. This is because a simile has to have either 'like' or 'as.'

That depends on the style and structure of the poem. Some poets do use full stops to indicate the end of a thought or idea, while others may use line breaks or other punctuation to create a particular rhythm or flow. Ultimately, it is up to the poet's preference and how they want to convey their message.

Unless there is a specific style of poetry that one is attempting to emulate, poetry is free of any restrictions of grammar and punctuation.

However, the decision to use or not use any form of punctuation or grammar in a poem must be purposeful and not just an error. e e Cummings in particular purposefully eschews the use of punctuation or even capitalisation (hence how his name has been spelt here) despite being a traditional poet who often used a sonnet style.

e e Cummings' use or misuse or lack of grammatical rules draws attention to the content of the poem, the reader drawing the rhythm and meter of the poem from purely syntactic clues.

To take this even further, there is no real requirement to put the words in order, on separate lines, with spaces between them or with structure at all, if that was relevant to the meaning you wished to convey.

Consider:

"She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:"

--Lord Byron

Compared to:

"She walks

in b e a u t y like the n i g h t

of

cloudless climes

and starry skies;

And all that's best of

dark

and

B R I G H T

Meet in her aspect

a

n

d

her

eyes."

--Lord Byron

Of course it ruins it but that style might be more suitable for a moment with drama and tempest than the gushing love songs of Byron.

Experiment. You can't be wrong, but you can be careless or boring.

Keats uses a question mark for the rhetorical questions at the start of La Belle Dame sans Merci. And Ian McEwan uses one for 'Or shall we die'? in his oratorio.

So some poets do, certainly.

In this exclamation, Benedick is expressing disbelief at the idea of someone remaining single at the age of sixty. He seems to be highlighting the rarity of finding an unmarried man of that age, implying that it's unusual for someone to stay single for so long.

A "hero" or a "lifesaver."

Yellow and black signs with an exclamation mark typically indicate a warning, alert, or potential hazard on the road ahead. These signs are designed to grab the attention of drivers and prompt them to proceed with caution. They usually signal specific dangers such as sharp curves, pedestrian crossings, or road work ahead.

Yes, if the question is a complete sentence and the citation follows the question within the same sentence, you would typically place a period after the closing parenthesis of the citation to end the sentence.

No, there should not be a capital letter after an exclamation mark. After an exclamation mark, you should start the next sentence with a lowercase letter unless it is a proper noun.

At the end of a sentence. Like I just did, and am about to do. See? No that wasn't a full stop, that was a question mark. That right there is a full stop. They're also called periods.

To add emphasis or a sense of urgency to an already grammatically correct statement. In other words, exclamation points are NEVER required but are definitely expected in some cases such as "The house is on fire!". However the statement "The house is on fire." is still grammatically correct.

This type of sentence is called exclamatory. An exclamation mark is used to express surprise, exasperation, anger or a loud retort: for example, "Watch out!", "That's not fair!" It is also used to emphasise a point, e.g. "I can't believe it!"

Most standard typewriters don't have italics, unless you switch the set of hammers out with italic font completely. Instead, type what you want italicized, then backspace to the start of the word and underline it with the underscore key ( _ ). Underlining is the best way to make a word stand out when typing on a typewriter.

to add surprise. Another reason we put exclamation marks is if a character is shouting.
