Default Re: wha tis the basice in using this symbols

, comma - represents a pause in a sentance. Is usually used to seperate two thoughts that belong in the same sentance, and in dialogue is used before all speech (which should be inside of quotation marks "").

' apostrophe - used to denote a conjunction (e.g., don't = do not).

. period - used to end a sentance.

" quotation mark - used to open and close quotes and speech

: colon - used to denote something in specfic (Book series: book one)

- hyphen - used to seperate two words that may normally be one, to personify a seperate meaning, or used to join two parts of a word on two differnt lines in novel writing.
