                We  also  need  to  use  proper


                mechanics                            when                   writing                      a



                sentence.  The  types  of  mechanics


                are as follows:

                          Full  stops  (.)  used  to  mark  the



                          end of a sentence.



                          Comma (,) used to separate two




                          complete                           sentences                            and



                          separate words or phrases that



                          indicate  where  the  one  will




                          pause slightly.



                          Question mark (?) used to mark



                          the end of a question.




                          Exclamation  mark  (!)  used  to



                          mark the end of a sentence or a



                          short  phrase  which  expresses




                          strong emotion.
