Rules of Punctuation
When it comes to the question mark, remember this should come at the end of the question - "Can I go for the film?" You can also use the question mark at the end of a declarative statement to emphasize the fact that you do not believe the statement - "You got detention?"
The comma, on the other hand, can be used after a dependent clause which begins a sentence - "If the neighbor complains, we'll send him some cookies." You can also keep a comma before the conjunction in a compound sentence - "The party was great fun, so I'm thinking of hosting another." You can also use the comma after a mild interjection, like oh - "Oh, the exam was easy." Use the comma after a noun of direct address - "Julie, I asked you to get me the notes." Similarly, use the comma after the greeting in a personal letter, and after the closing of a letter. You can also use a comma to indicate where a pause might be needed, in order to avoid confusion. For example - "The student walked in, late for the class".
Now let's take the semicolon - this is used to join two independent clauses - which eliminates the need for a comma and conjunction - "Julie read the book; then she analyzed it." You can also use a semicolon to separate items in a series where the items contain punctuation like commas.
The colon, on the other hand, is used between numerals indicating hours and minutes - "School starts at 9:15 am." The colon can be used to introduce a list which comes after an independent clause - "You will need the following for the art project: craft paper, glue, glitter, and ruler." The colon should also be used after the greeting of a business letter, and also between the title and subtitle of a book - for example, "The name of the book is Getting Ahead In The Business World: How To Use Your Advantageous Position."
The apostrophe should be used in a contraction to show where the letters have been omitted - "I won't go." (Meaning that won't is short for will not.) The apostrophe can also be used when you leave out the first two numbers of the year - "He is from the class of '89." Also use it for a syllable singular noun which ends in possessive - "It is my mother's birthday today."
