PARAGRAPH

Importance of the proper use of capitalization and punctuation

The punctuation and capitalization are very important in the paragraphs and each of their parts and sentences since with their use it is understood in a better way that is being implied and there are n mistakes due to a bad spelling that can lead to read or understand a paragraph differently.

Punctuation: Punctuation helps convey the precise meaning of the sentence, and in fact can even change the meaning, as this well-known example: A woman, without her man, is nothing A woman: without her, man is nothing The punctuation that we use is: comma, semi-colon, colon, end punctuation, parentheses, dash, quotation marks, apostrophe.

Capitalization: Like punctuation, capitalization helps convey information. The first word of every sentence is capitalized, signaling that a new sentence has begun.

Appropiate number of Sentnces

The optimal number of sentences for a paragraph is between 10 and 11.

This is because the longer the sentence, the greater the probability that the subject and verb will diverge, or that the sentence contains so much information that the reader will not grasp the important material.

Long sentences are generally more difficult to understand than short ones.

Transition Signals

Conclusion: In conclusion, therefore, as shown, finally, summing up, to conclude, on the whole, etc.

Emphasys: Undoubtedly, unquestionably, obviously, particularly, especially, clearly, definitely, without a doubt, indeed, etc.

Effect: And so, consequently, therefore, as a consequence, for this reason, as a result, etc.

Time: Immediately, prior to, then, at that time, thereafter, previously, soon, before, after, formerly, finally, during, etc.

They signal time relationship, examples, effect, emphasys and conclusion.
