Punctuation in English:

Period usage
The frequency of use of periods in English is second only to comma, which is usually used to indicate the end of a sentence. Common usage:

Separate calls
It is used in the mail after the Hohhot or after the honorific speech.

Usage of semicolons
A semicolon is a real separator. It cannot end a sentence. It is usually used between parallel clauses. Generally, semicolons are used between periods and commas. The relationship between the two parts separated by semicolons is closer than that separated by periods. Semicolons are generally used as follows:
1) it is used to separate (usually) the main clauses that do not have a join clause. These clauses are considered to be closely related and belong to a sentence.
2) It is used for example, for instance, namely, that is (to say), in fact, I. e., e.g.

Colon usage
A colon is a complementary and coherent symbol used to draw attention to the following. Colons are mostly used for formal and solemn problems. The specific usage is as follows:

1) it is used after the imperative sentence of the question or tone.
2) use it in an orphan to indicate that it is suspect or uncertain.

Exclamation point usage
Exclamation points are used to express strong emotions, such as exclamation, appreciation, appeal, determination, or to express emphasis and command. The exclamation point is usually used as follows:

2) sighs, praise, ridicule, or joke.

Use of hyphens
In English, hyphens are used in many ways, and their usage is flexible. Generally, a hyphen is used as follows:
1) compound words.
2) used between the affixes (or composite elements) and the root (or word.
3) it is used to avoid confusion or separation of words in semantics or in speech.
4) used between two locations, two numbers, or two time periods, meaning "".

※The words in a single room cannot be separated, for example, strength cannot be divided into Steng-and th
※The folding form cannot be migrated separately. For example, working cannot be divided into work-and ing.
※Numbers and acronyms cannot be separated, for example, 25759 and UNSCO cannot be divided into 257-and 59, UNEs-and Co.
※For example, legend and earnest cannot be divided into leg-and end, ear-and nest.
※Only one letter should be left at the end of the Migration. For example, alike and alone should not be divided into A-and like, a-and lone.
※Words with suffixes should be moved to the suffixes and roots. For example, unimportant and disappear should be moved to uni, important, dis-and appear.
Disciplinary action.
※Composite words should shift between composite elements (if the original hyphen is used, you can use the double font size at the end of the row or add a font size at the beginning of the next line ),
