Punctuation marks tend to be small so it is easy to mistake them. For example, it is easy to mistake a comma for a period and vice versa. For this reason, it is useful to increase the font size of the punctuation marks in your document to make them clear.
The period, also known as the full stop, is the most commonly used punctuation mark. There are different ways in which the period can be used. Firstly, it is used at the end of sentences to indicate that the sentence has ended.
