Punctuation marks are symbols used in writing to organize sentences and express meaning clearly. They help readers understand pauses, questions, emotions, and relationships between words in a sentence.
Punctuation marks are important because they:
Make writing clear and easy to read
Help express questions, excitement, and emotions
Organize ideas in sentences and lists
Improve grammar and writing accuracy
Without punctuation, sentences may sound confusing or incomplete.
Grade 4 students commonly use the following punctuation marks:
Full Stop (.) – ends a statement
Question Mark (?) – ends a question
Exclamation Mark (!) – shows strong emotion or excitement
Comma (,) – separates items in a list
Apostrophe (’) – shows possession or ownership

Grade 4 students should learn full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, and apostrophes.
Punctuation helps students write clearly, organize ideas, and express emotions correctly.
An apostrophe shows possession, such as in “It’s raining today.”
Students can improve by reading regularly, practicing worksheets, and correcting sentences.
Using games, short activities, and real-life sentence examples makes punctuation engaging.
