New Grammar PUNCTUATION Punctuation exists to show the boundaries of grammatical units and to indicate grammatical information which is marked when we speak by means of intonation, pinch, etc. Punctuation consists of both rules and conventions. Punctuation rules have to be followed; but punctuation conventions give writers greater freedom and allow choices. There are many ways in which written texts can be punctuated. The major punctuation marks are full stops, question marks, commas, exclamation marks, colons, semi-colons, apostrophes and dashes. The most frequent forms are the full stop (‘period’ in American English and the comma.
