Punctuation Marks

Punctuation marks are symbols that are used to structure a sentence or a paragraph. Punctuations at times can change the entire meaning of a sentence. Common examples of punctuations are full-stop, comma, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semi-colon, apostrophe, hyphen and dash and many more. Let’s observe these punctuation marks closely with examples for better understanding.

Full-stop (.): Full-stop is used to end a sentence or a speech. One can use only one full-stop in a sentence but it can be used more than one times for different sentences in a paragraph. For example: I am going to buy baby chairs online. Full-stop is also used to break out abbreviations. For example: W.H.O means World Health Organization.

Comma (,): Comma is used somewhere in the middle of a sentence to bring a pause. For example: Trust me, online baby stores really have quality baby pillows India collections. It is also used to separate clauses, list of things, names and more. For example: Tiny Care, Barbie, Owen and more are some of the best brand that brings quality baby pillows India collections.

Semi-colon(;): Semi-colon is used to separate two independent clauses in a sentence. For example: Online shopping is really cool; I bought two bed sheet sets online yesterday.

Apostrophe (‘): Apostrophe is used to define an ownership. For example: Disney’s baby chairs online collections are comfortable and affordable. Apostrophe is also used to show a contraction. For example: He is used as He’s etc.

Hyphen and Dash (-): A hyphen joins two or more words. For example: I am re-covering from my illness. Dash on the contrary separates words into parenthetical statements. For example: She bought bed sheet sets online for her kid – her first venture with online shopping.
These are some of the most commonly used punctuation marks along with relevant examples.

Prefix and Suffix

Prefix and suffix are two of the most important concepts in Basic English learning. Prefix and suffix are two forms of affix that are added to words to form a new word or meaning. Let’s have a look at prefix and suffix along with relevant examples in this post.

Prefix: A prefix is a word that is added before the root of a word. A prefix added to a word changes the meaning of the word and owing to this fact, prefix is also referred as reformative.

For example:
• Maria is happy that John went to buy pillow for baby alone – Maria is unhappy that John went to buy pillow for baby alone. (Here, the word happy is changed to unhappy with the use of prefix un-. The positive meaning changed to negative.)
• Sana visited the website to buy folding chairs for babies online – Sana revised the website to buy folding chairs for babies online. (Here, the prefix re- means again.)
• Hari is an honest person – Hari is a dishonest person. (Here, dis- is a negative prefix.)
Suffix: Suffix is a word that is added after the stem of a word. Suffix can change the form of a word to which it is added and therefore, suffix is also referred as affirmative. For example:
• The Girl was checking bed sheet sizes before buying it – The Girls were checking bed sheet sizes before buying it. (Here, the suffix –s made singular form girl to plural form girls.)
• Hari, please close the door – Hari closed the door. (Here, the suffix –ed made present tense close to past tense closed.)
• He has bought me the pen – He hadn’t bought me the pen. (Here, the suffix –n’t is making the word has negative.)
These are basics about prefix and suffixes along with examples in English language.

3 Types of Sentences

Here, these group of words together are conveying a compete meaning.
