10 Examples of the use of point

Use of point

The point is the grammatical sign (.), which highlights the completion of one sentence and the eventual beginning of the other. Among all grammatical punctuation marks, the period is the longest pause in speech.

In any case, the period always signifies the completion of an idea with more force than the eat (,) or that the semicolon (;). Unlike what happens with these two less powerful punctuation marks, after the period you always start by writing the next word with the first letter in capital letters: this is the ultimate evidence of the beginning of a new idea.
