FULL STOP/ PERIOD (.)
FULL STOP/ PERIOD ARE USED:
1) To mark the end of a sentence that is a complete statement or thought.
for example:
My name’s Beth and I turned 18 in July.
After leaving school, she went to work in an insurance company.
2) To mark the end of a group of words that is not a complete sentence, this is to emphasize a statement.
for example:
I keep reliving that moment. Over and over again.
3) In some abbreviations,
for example:
etc., Dec., or p.m.
The coffee morning will be held on Thursday 15 Sept. in the Waterfront Restaurant.
There’s a wide range of sandwiches, pies, cakes, etc. at very reasonable prices.
4) In website and email addresses.
for example:
www.soup.com
Remember if an abbreviation with a full stop comes at the end of a sentence you don’t need to add another full stop.
for example:
Bring your own pens, pencils, rulers, etc.
