Punctuation marks are symbols that show how a phrase or sentence is
divided and how it should be read.
Some common punctuation symbols:
------
full stop . question mark ?

We use a full stop . at the end of a complete sentence.

Example: Theview was truly breathtaking.

We use a comma , to separate phrases or items in a list.
Example: Vijay's mother bought milk, eggs, and bread at the grocery.

A comma also is placed before an 'and' in a series of three or more
items. It is known as the 'Oxford comma'. It is used to avoid ambiguity.
Example: Wehad chicken chop, grilled lamb, and fish and chips at the
new restaurant.

We use a q,uestion mark ? at the end of a sentence when asking
a question.
Example: Where are you going?
