stop it's used after a sentence or after a short word such as Mr or the US now next is question mark question mark of course the question mark is used after question okay next comma comma this is used in many places but especially lists for example 1 2 3 okay next is The Hyphen we saw the hyphen it's used inside a word for example 20 one okay it's inside a word to join two words and then finally we have an apostrophe this also is used inside words for example we saw do not don't okay now

again this is the period or full stop question mark comma hyphen and apostrophe all right now here are some sentences I'm going to show you some sentences with no punctuation and we're going to change them here we go okay now we're going to practice punctuation first I will write sentences no punctuation one this is a sentence this is a sentence two we don't speak [Music] Chinese we don't speak Chinese do you like pizza do you like pizza she is 43 years old she is 43 oops 43 years old and my brothers are 5 8 and

10 years old my brothers are 5 8 and 10 years old now we're going to have the assistants put in the punctuation So Lisa do number one this is a sentence period period yes good okay Ali number two we don't an apostrophe speak Chinese period mhm good oh all right three Isabelle do you like pizza question mark mhm good okay Lisa she is 40 hen 3 years old period yes good and uh last one Isabel my brothers are 5 comma 8 and 10 years old period okay all right there should also be a comma here
