Exclamation point
An exclamation point can be used to convey emotion. Exclamation points are more acceptable in dialogue than in narrative, but in either case, they shouldn’t be overused.
Usage
To indicate direct commands, loud noises, anger, shouting shock or surprise, anything with heightened intensity, and disgust or sarcasm.
I felt like I was back in English class! These were great refreshers, some rules I wasn’t even familar with!
Thank you for the refresher course. I am a casual writer and probably break these rules frequently. It must drive you crazy!
I was always told never to put a comma before the word ‘and’ so it’s interesting to learn that’s not always the case!
I think I need to go back to English class!! I have to! lol. This helped me to remember this important things
This topic can’t be communicated enough! It is crazy how many mistakes are made… (I don’t exclude myself here :))
Thank you for sharing! It is so useful. I thought i was good at punctuation but realise i get confused with semi-colons and don’t know the other uses for others x
After leaving school,I have never really payed attention to the way i write and all the grammar rules. But ever since I have started writing again, I feel like I need to go to the library to get back all those grammar rules books. So thanks for this post, it helped me a lot.
