Ending Punctuation

Ending punctuation refers to the marks used at the end of a sentence to indicate its type. The three main types are: period (.), question mark (?), and exclamation mark (!).

Period (.) is used at the end of a statement.

Question mark (?) is used to ask a question.

A declarative sentence ends with a period.

An interrogative sentence ends with a question mark.

An exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark.
