Source: 恒星英语学习网  Onion  2010-03-28  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

别看标点符号小,用处真不少。用错了标点可是会引起误解呢!让下面这些给你提个醒吧!

1. 句号 Period [.]
用以表示一个句子的结束:
Hockey is a popular sport in Canada.
The federal government is based in Ottawa.

用在缩写中:
B.C. is the province located on the West Coast.
Dr. Bethune was a Canadian who worked in China.
The company is located at 888 Bay St. in Toronto.
It is 4:00 p.m. in Halifax right now.

2. 问号 Question Mark [?]
在句子的结尾使用问号表示是直接疑问句:How many provinces are there in Canada?

注意:在间接疑问句结尾不要加问号:
The teacher asked the class a question.
Do not ask me why.

3. 叹号 Exclamation Mark [!]
在句子的结尾使用叹号表示惊讶、兴奋等情绪:
We won the Stanley Cup!
The forest is on fire!

4. 逗号 Comma [,]
句子中的停顿:Therefore, we should write a letter to the prime minister.

在疑问句中引出说话人:"I can come today," she said, "but not tomorrow."

排列三个或以上的名词:Ontario, Quebec, and B.C. are the three biggest provinces.

引出定语从句:Emily Carr, who was born in 1871, was a great painter.
