Hi kids, we’re moving on to learn

about other punctuation marks that
affect our tone while speaking or
reading; these are the Question Mark
and the Exclamation Mark.

able to correctly use question marks
and exclamation marks based on the
tone of the sentence.
1. QUESTION MARK
DEFINITION
We place a question mark at the end of a
direct question.
Am I really
frightening?
If the question is indirect, as in reported speech, we

do not use a question mark.
Mr. Ghost asked if he was

really frightening.
44
2. EXCLAMATION MARK
DEFINITION
We use an exclamation mark at the end of a
sentence when we want to express sudden or
strong feelings. We call these sentences
exclamations or interjections if they are
made up of one word only.
How scary!
What a
beautiful
morning!
We also use exclamation marks at the end of a sentence

when we give orders.
Stop right
there!
• We use question marks at the end of a direct

SUMMARY question.
• We use an exclamation mark at the end of an
interjection or command.

4 COLON, SEMICOLON, AND
APOSTROPHE
58
EXPLAIN
universe
Hi kids, today we’re going to learn

about some punctuation marks that we
tend to get mixed up. They may look
tiny but they have important functions
within a sentence. These are called
the Colon, the SemiColon, and the
Apostrophe.
able to correctly place these
punctuation marks within sentences
1. C O L Owhen
N writing.
DEFINITION
We use a colon to introduce a list of
items.
EXAMPLE
YOUR OWN PIZZA

To make pizza, you need the following
ingredients: flour, yeast, milk,
cheese, tomato paste, mushrooms,
peppers, sausage, and tomatoes.
We can also use a colon to introduce the words spoken by

people in a play.
Ammu: It’s a beautiful gift. When is his birthday?
Lizzi: It’s on Saturday.
59
2. SEMI-COLON
DEFINITION
A semi-colon marks a longer pause than a
comma. It has several uses in sentences.
EXAMPLE
I love making pizza;

however, my guests
prefer to eat something
sweet; therefore, I am
making a cake now.
YOUR OWN PIZZA

You also have to follow five single
steps; otherwise, your pizza may not
be tasty. Here are the steps:
 make the sauce for the pizza;
 make the pizza dough;
 cover the bottom of the pan with the
dough;
 put the sauce and the toppings on
the dough;
 bake the pizza.
Semi-colon has several uses in sentences:
1 Replace but or and

A semi-colon can often replace but or and in a
sentence when two simple sentences are combined to
make a compound sentence.
Some of the children made the sauce for the pizza;
others made the dough; the rest put toppings on it.
Oranges are sour; apples are sweet.
60
2 Break up a long list of items
A semicolon can break up a long list when the
items in the list are made up of more than just
one word.
He bought a new program, a mouse and a keyboard for
his computer; a series of compact discs for his new
machine; a set of language tapes to help him with his
French; and a new car to put all his purchases in.
3 Used in sentences before several words
A semicolon can be used in sentences before words
like consequently, nevertheless, however,
moreover, therefore, otherwise and besides.
He ate chocolate all the time; consequently, all his
teeth fell out.
I failed the mock examinations last month;
nevertheless, I shall try my best to pass the
examinations in the summer.
You also need to follow five simple steps; otherwise,
your pizza
However, it is may
alsonot be tasty.
grammatically correct to use a full
stop instead.
They won’t join us at the mall later. Besides, they’re not
interested in the movie.
3. APOSTROPHE
DEFINITION
An apostrophe looks like a comma. It is
raised off the line of writing.
No, it
That’s a isn’t. It’s
lovely cat. Lizzie’s
Is it yours? cat. It’s
name is
Simba.
61
An apostrophe has two main jobs:
1 It indicates possession, that is, who owns

something or what belongs to someone.
Is it Lizzie’s cat?
The cat’s paw was badly injured.
Mrs. Poha has many ladies’ shoes.
2 It also shows us where letters are missing in the

short or contracted forms of words.
That’s a lovely cat.

No, it isn’t my cat.
You will come to the party, won’t you?
We’ve got some snacks.
Note that its is a

possessive determiner
while it’s is a
contraction of it is.
This example shows us the difference:

Look at the monkey. It’s hanging from the branch by
its tail.
It’s can be separated to become it is; however

it is not possible to separate its to it is.
Try separating its in the example above and
REMEMBER
you will see that it does not make sense to
say “it is tail!.
• We use colons before we introduce items.

SUMMARY
• We use semicolons to separate longer
bits of information.
• Apostrophes are used to denote
possession or contraction.

semicolons:
The mango is so delicious; I can’t stop eating

never listen to her and once I almost choked to
death. A fruit that is not fully ripe, is not so
juicy and tasty; I will eat it no matter what.

birthday cake. Write one sentence and include the

best friends whom you want to invite to your
birthday party. Use semi-colons:

26 THE CONTRACTION STORY – Rewrite the story below
by converting each wrongly used possessive
determiner into “it’s”, a contraction of a
personal pronoun and the verb “is”:
Smarty has a monkey and its name is Bruno. Its

a small monkey. Its tail is black and its ears
are white. Its very playful and naughty. Its
eyes are always looking for his owner. It’s a
pity that Smarty work all the time and have no
time to play with his monkey. Its a well-
mannered animal; however, Smarty is a bit
afraid of it.

27 THE CONTRACTION STORY – Rewrite the story below
by converting each semi-colon into it a full
stop:
I am in school all day; however, I always find

time for my daily chores. Washing the dishes
and feeding my pet are the first thing I do
when I get back home; nonetheless, I can’t
stop thinking about playing with my friends. I
spend my free time in the park. I am
fascinated by the trees and flowers there; the
early spring Magnolia blushes a rosy pink and
grows into a small tree. I can’t wait to go
out in the park with my friends.

5 QUOTATION MARKS

universe
Hi kids, today we will learn about

quotation marks and when to use them.
We will later learn about them in
detail while learning about Direct and
Indirect Speech.

able to use quotation marks correctly
in a sentence.
1 . Q U O TAT I O N M A R K S
DEFINITION
We use quotation marks to show the actual
words spoken by a person, that is, direct
speech. Quotation marks are also known as
inverted commas or speech marks.
EXAMPLE I’m very

hungry!
“I’m very hungry,” said the hippo.

The hippo said, “I’m very hungry.”
Direct Speech
1 It can come at the beginning or the end of a
sentence.
“Do you like my new dress?” asked Ammu.
Ammu asked, “Do you like my new dress?”
82
2 It is also possible for the speech to come at both
the beginning and the end of a sentence, with an
interruption in the middle.
“I have won two million dollars,” cried Zinka, “and
I’m so excited!”.
3 When speech is interrupted in this way, we do not

need to start the second part of the sentence with
a capital letter, unless of course, it is the
start of a new sentence.
“I’ll be there at 7 p.m.,” said Simba. “It is the
Multiplex we’re meeting at, isn’t it?”
Notice how opening quotation mark is placed before the

first word in a sentence, and the closing one is placed
after the punctuation ending the sentence.
DEFINITION
Quotation marks are placed around an entire
sentence, question or exclamation, so that
the closing mark appears after the
punctuation, whether it is a full stop,
comma, question mark or exclamation mark.
There are some other ways in which we can use

quotation marks:
1 To quote the exact words from a book, newspaper or

magazine
The first sentence of the book reads, “It was dark and
gloomy.”
2 To quote a proverb or saying
Our scout leader feels that “many hands make light

work”, so he gets us to carry all the equipment.
83
3 For the titles of books, plays, films, newspapers,
magazines, poems, songs, paintings, and TV
programmes
My favorite novel is “Jane Eyre”.
She will give three performances to promote her latest
album, “Jos”.
4 For unusual words (so we can show the reader that
the words are not usually used)
He threw a “wobbly” (“to throw a wobbly” means to lose

your temper).
5 To highlight certain words or phrases that need to

be emphasized in the context of the sentence
Our “hotel room” turned out to be a tiny cell with no

windows and a single camp bed!
6 For words quoted in a discussion
I can’t find the words “indefatigable” anywhere in my

junior dictionary.
Sometimes, you may see speech, quotes, or

titles of books and films highlighted by
single quotation marks only. But it is more
REMEMBER common for direct speech to have double
quotation marks and for quotes and titles to
be shown by single marks, specifically if they
appear as part of direct speech.
EXAMPLE
“Zepo’s favorite magazine is ‘Sweet Sixteen’,” said
Lizzi.
“I am busy learning my lines for my role in ‘Romeo and
Juliet’. So far I can only remember, ‘O, Romeo, Romeo!
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?’, so I must practice harder
to memorize all my lines by the end of the month”,
