| Hello Training Series Member,
Here is the next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing: Paragraph and Grammar Structure Training Series.
Here are 10 quick EzineArticles punctuation tips: - Spacing after punctuation: One (1) space only is required after every punctuation mark (period, exclamation mark, question mark, colon, semicolon, commas, etc.), including bullets and numbers.
- Never use excessive punctuation!!!!! This will not create a greater sense of urgency or strong emotion, especially in formal writing.
- Periods and commas always go inside of quotation marks.
Example: "I think you're great."
- There is never a space before a period or before a comma.
- When doing this "..." you should use only 3 dots.
- When using dashes, use two in a row.
Example: Punctuation -- 10 Rules

Example: We need twenty-five boxes.
- Use a question mark only after a direct question.
Example: Can I ask you a question?
- Use parentheses to enclose words or figures that clarify.
Example: Use only one (1) space after a punctuation mark.
- If the last word in a sentence ends in a period, do not follow it with another period.
Example: I know that C.E.O. He is my boss. The next edition of the EzineArticles.com Article Writing: Paragraph and Grammar Structure Training Series will offer 10 common word usage mistakes.
