Abstract

A pause or signal used to make our sentences more clear is called punctuation.They serve as cues
to the reader to halt, emphasize a point, switch up the flow of the text, or show connections between
different parts of the text. When writing, punctuation is a crucial tool that authors employ to make their
points concise and easy to understand. The most common punctuation marks used in writing have been
covered in this study along with examples. This research aims to give a concise summary of various
findings that the author has looked up from multiple sources, as well as to pinpoint the most challenging
punctuation patterns in English writing and provide a number of punctuation marks that are frequently
used in books, articles, and other written works.
