Punctuation is essential to learning how to write. Only when we master punctuation can we begin to perfect our writing. More than a dozen unique punctuation marks are used in modern English, and each mark can change the structure and meaning of our chosen words in both drastic and subtle ways. When we speak, we control this meaning by pausing or changing the inflection of our voice; when we write, however, the only way to convey this meaning is through the correct use of punctuation marks.
This guide covers all the ways punctuation shapes the English language as it is written today. Because of how varied the usage of punctuation marks can be, it's crucial to understand exactly how each mark can (or cannot) be used.
Each chapter in this guide focuses on a different punctuation mark, providing clear examples that show not only how to use it correcdy, but how to identify and avoid common mistakes as well. Since many punctuation marks overlap with one another in how they are used, this book contains many cross-references to make it clear when and why one mark might be preferable over another.
Once you have mastered the basic rules of punctuation, your writing will become much clearer, better structured, and more precise. You'll be able to add more nuance and variety to your writing without worrying about whether you're using the correct punctuation. With this guide, you will have no doubt.
