一、.句点
1.句点用于当一句话完全结束时。
2.句点也可以用于英文单词的缩写,如 Mrs., Dr., P.S. 等。但要注意的是当缩写的字母形成了一个单词的时候就不要使用句点。如 IBM, DNA 等。
二、?问号
问号要用在一个直接的问句,而不是间接的。
如 How will you solve the problem? 是正确的用法,但用在 I wonder how you will solve the problem?就不对了,应该使用句点而不是问号。另外,在客气的用语中,也是用句点而不是问号.如Will you please give me a call tomorrow.
三、! 感叹号
感叹号用于感叹和惊叹的陈述中,在商业写作中要注意感叹号的应用,因为不恰当的使用
会显得突兀及不稳重。
四、;分号
1.与中文一样,分号用于分隔地位平等的独立子句。在某些情况下,使用分号比使用句点更显出子句之间的紧密联系,另外分号也经常与连接副词 thus, however, therefore一起使用。如 I realize I need exercise; however, Ill lie down first to think about it.
2.在句子中如果已经使用过逗点,为了避免歧义的产生,就用分号来分隔相似的内容。如The employees were Tom Hanks, the manager; Jim White, the engineer; and Dr. Jack
需要注意的是:一个完整的句子以大写字母开始,以句点结束。写英文时用逗点代替句点、分号、冒号或破折号叫逗号错,这正是中国学生所要避免的。请比较下列例句:
误:It was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
正:It was raining hard; they could not work in the fields.
It was raining hard. They could not work in the fields.
It was raining so hard that they could not work in the fields.
They could not work in the fields because it was raining hard.
It was raining hard, so they could not work in the fields.
As it was raining hard, they could not work in the fields.
误:The essay is poorly organized, there is no central idea.
正:The essay is poorly organized; there is no central idea.
The essay is poorly organized: there is no central idea.
五、:冒号
1.冒号用于对后面内容的介绍或解释,如 This is her plan: go shopping.
2.冒号用于名单之前,特别是一个竖排的名单。
We transferred three employees to new branches:
Tony Wang to New York City
Mike Jackson to Tokyo
Mark Foster to Paris
当名单横排的时候,冒号要用在一个完整的句子之后,如 We need seven people: three students, three engineers, and a professor.
3.冒号用于一个正式的引用之前。如 The professor said: It was horrible.
4.冒号也可用于商业或正式信函的称谓后面,如 Dear Mr. Lee
美国英语中,信件或演说词的称呼语之后用冒号,而在英国英语中多用逗号。)
5.冒号用于数字时间的表示,如16:45 或 4:45 p.m.
6.冒号用于主标题和副标题之间,如 Web Directory: World and Non-U.S. Economic Data
六、,逗点
1.逗点用于分隔一系列的简单内容,如 I will go to Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen.
2.逗点用于修饰名词的多个形容词之间,如 a small, fancy bike
3.逗点用于连接两个较长的独立子句,而且每个句子的主语不同,如 The Grizzlies were out of timeouts, and Miller missed a desperation 3-pointer as time expired.
4.逗点用于关联的子句之间,如 Since hes your younger brother, please take care of him.
5.逗点用于一个较长的修饰短语之后,如 In the middle of the coldest winter on record, the pipes froze.
6.逗点用于直接引用的句子之前,如 Mary said, Lets go fishing.,这里说的和上面提及的冒号在直接引语中的使用不一样。如果是引用比较正式的发言讲话就要用冒号,一般情况下就用逗点。
下面列出一些次常用的标点:
七、连字号Hyphen
1.连字号主要用于某些前缀 后和构成复合词。如: ex-husband,brand-new,poorly-dressed I have forty-thousand or fifty-thousand dollars.
I want to obtain the whole-year or half-year lease of the apartment.

2.用于区分同一词源
3.当某复合词中出现重复的字母或过多的元音, 使阅读困难时, 可用连字号把前缀和词根分开。non-nuclear, re-use, semi-independent
4.构成某些复合数字twenty-one during the years 1949-1999 有时, 用作名词的分数可以不用连字号, 但所有用作形容词的分词均须加连字号。如: one fourth of those surveyed
5.用于一个词的一部分要移行, 一般按音节间断开单词加连字号,或根据发音,不要把单个字母留在行尾或行首。注意一页中最后一个单词不能使用连字号将其置于两页。
