End-of-Sentence Punctuation
In this lesson, you will learn to
- Correctly use end-of-sentence punctuation marks in various contexts.
- Avoid common mistakes when punctuating sentences that contain questions or statements.
- Apply strategies for choosing appropriate punctuation in complex sentences.
Introduction
⚠️ WarningWhile several end-of-sentence punctuation questions appear on Bluebook tests, students report that they have been relatively rare on administered DSATs. If your time is limited, you should cover other topics first.
End-of-sentence punctuation questions essentially ask you to do two things:
- Decide whether a sentence is a statement or a question.
- Decide whether to use a period or a question mark.
This lesson explains how to do both.
