Apostrophe – Use of Period 

Utilization of the period 

There are just two purposes of the period (otherwise called hush stop” in British English):’ 

• To stamp the finish of a sentence communicating an assertion (assuming you are uncertain whether the words comprise a sentence, search for an action word which is a fundamental part of a sentence) 

• To connote an abbreviation – [N.A.T.O. for North Atlantic Treaty Organization (albeit progressively it is ac-ceptable and, surprisingly, best not to involve full stops in such cases)] 

Note: A typical misstep is to utilize a comma where a full stop ought to be utilized,

Utilization of the Apostrophe 

1. Demonstrates a possessive in a particular thing Example: The bistro’s menu 

However, when the owner is a normal plural, the punctuation follows the “s.” Example: The bistros’ menus.

3. Demonstrates the oversight of figures in dates Example: Batch ’08 is so eager to graduate. 

4. Demonstrates the oversight of letters Examples: The preparation begins at 8 0′ clock consistently. The gov’t is set to fight the extremists in Basilan.

6. Demonstrates the plural of words The do’s and don’ts of speaking She didn’t invite his yet’s and’s. 

Note: The punctuation doesn’t need to show up in the plurals of truncations (for example Dvd’s) or plural dates (for example 1980’s)
