punctuation mark

 
   
a printed or written symbol which cannot be spoken but which divides up the text and helps to make its meaning clearer

COMMENT: The main punctuation marks are the question mark and exclamation mark; inverted commas (which show the type of text being written); the comma, full stop, colon and semicolon (which show how the words are broken up into sequences); the apostrophe (which shows that a letter or word is missing); the dash and hyphen and brackets (which separate or link words).
