Importance of Punctuation Marks

We live in a society where people need to communicate. The communication It is vital for him human being in all aspects. From an informal point of view, conversation, of whatever kind, is essential and something that makes people interact with each other. From the formal point of view, people need a series of resources in the most cultured language from the professional point of view, with which to address colleagues at work, studies, etc. However, one of the most used processes and that are most necessary to register the impressions personal, studies, knowledge, culture, projects, etc., that is, the knowledge of the human being, is the writing.

The language is very easy to learn. It is obvious that the oral is always much easier to know than the written. However, what is written, depending on each language, may be more or less difficult. Thus, some languages, such as Chinese or Japanese, are very difficult to learn from a written point of view. English is less and Spanish is in the middle.

Within what is writing, the language is not only important from the point of view of learning, but also from the point of view of spelling and knowing how to use the signs of punctuation with correction.

One of the positive elements of the Spanish language is that it is possible to vary the order of the words in the sentences without this implying a change in their meaning. However, modifying the punctuation marks in a sentence can, on many occasions, alter its meaning. That is why it is very important to know the correct use of these punctuation marks. This, in addition to correct knowledge of the language, shows us a whole series of possibilities when it comes to being able to express what we want more easily.

In the Spanish language, the main punctuation marks are: the period, the comma, the colon, the point and commas, quotation marks, parentheses, question marks, exclamation marks, ellipses, hyphens, and stripe. Each one of them has characteristics very specific and are used in a very specific way. In some cases, as we have said before, the change of place or the non-existence of any of these punctuation marks implies that the sentence changes completely, stops making sense or that the intention that we wanted to give to the sentence disappears for complete. That is why it is important that, in addition to knowing the language, we also know everything related to its orthography and, within it, the use of those punctuation marks so important to make us understand.
