Punctuation marks are symbols used in writing to organize sentences and clarify meaning. They help readers understand sentence structure, emotion, pauses, and relationships between words.
Punctuation marks are important because they:
Make writing clear, precise, and readable
Show questions, emotions, and statements
Organize ideas in lists and sentences
Improve grammar, comprehension, and writing quality
Incorrect punctuation can change the meaning of a sentence.
Grade 7 students should confidently use these punctuation marks:
Full Stop (.) – completes a statement or sentence
Question Mark (?) – ends a question
Exclamation Mark (!) – shows strong feeling or emotion
Comma (,) – separates items in a list or series
Apostrophe (’) – shows possession or ownership

Grade 7 students focus on full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, and apostrophes.
Punctuation helps students write clearly, avoid confusion, and improve sentence structure.
An apostrophe shows possession, such as “That’s my responsibility.”
Students can improve through regular practice, reading, editing sentences, and worksheets.
Common mistakes include missing commas, incorrect apostrophe usage, and wrong sentence endings.
