What is a Period?

• A period is the ending of piece of information

Why Use Periods?

• We use periods to allow the reader to take a full breath and continue reading

• We use periods to give the reader a chance to separate information in their brain

Page 6: Grammar: Using a Period

How to use Periods

• A period is used at the end of a sentence• It is placed beside the word on the left side

of it.• After you place a period, the next

sentence is put on the right side of the period. This new sentence will need to be one space away from the period

• A new sentence will always begin with a capital letter in the first word.
