Full stop (.)

Full stop (.)

Full stops are used:

-to mark the end of a sentence that is a complete statement:

E.g. My name’s Nishant and I was 28 in July, 2014.

E.g. After leaving Farrukhabad, I went to work in an insurance company in Delhi.

-to mark the end of a group of words that don’t form a conventional sentence, so as to emphasize a statement:

E.g. I keep reliving that moment. Over and over again.

-in some abbreviations, for example etc., Dec., or p.m. :

E.g. The coffee morning will be held on Thursday 15 Sept. in the Evergreen Restaurant.

E.g. There’s a wide range of sandwiches, pies, cakes, etc. at very reasonable prices.

-in website and email addresses:

E.g. www.nishantpanorama.in

If an abbreviation with a full stop comes at the end of a sentence you don’t need to add another full stop:

E.g. Bring your own pens, pencils, rulers, etc.
