Many students have difficulty writing crisp, clear, and concise essays. They seem to falter in their writing’s beginning, middle, and end. Where and how to use commas and full stop in essay writing? In college writing, there is a big difference between using them correctly and incorrectly. In this article, I will guide you through the correct use of commas and full stops.
Using commas or periods correctly means separating your paragraphs with commas or periods. Where and how to use them is important, especially in essay writing. A full stop (or comma) is primarily utilized to mark the end of a long sentence. This is not the same as separating your paragraphs; however, it still can help you separate your thoughts and ideas from one another. With these two basic components, you can create smooth, clear-cut writing that flows nicely.
As you probably have noticed already, most college students do not place commas or full stops within their sentences. Instead, they prefer to use exclamation marks, or question marks, to indicate a break within the sentence. This can be tricky, but if you’re taught properly, it is an easy way to make sure your sentences flow as smoothly as possible. Here are some tips on how to place commas and exclamation marks correctly.
The commas and periods are most commonly used with the conjunction or preposition. This means placing them at the beginning of your sentence, after the words “and” or “in”, before the word “which”. For example, “The girl had long hair and the boy had dark skin.” This conjunction and preposition are known as the conjunction and the word that follows it is called the conjunction.
The second main use of commas and periods within a sentence is to separate the main points of discussion. You must make sense of the information you are trying to convey before you draw attention to it. For example, you might draw attention to the fact, “The man was bald with a large bald spot on his forehead.” This part of the sentence makes sense when we see the man’s facial appearance, but it does not make sense when we don’t.
In addition, the placement of commas and periods serve as an effective device for showing emphasis. Most college students will understand that when a sentence begins with a period or a full stop, it indicates that the sentence will focus on that part of the body of the text. However, most people do not pay much attention to these types of formatting and some people can even be confused about what they actually mean. If you are uncertain about what these marks are doing, then here is a quick explanation:
