Take a look:
My name is Jennifer . I am from the USA . My hometown is Rochester , New York.
Correct:
My name is Jennifer. I am from the USA. My hometown is Rochester, New York.
Rules for full stops:
- There IS NO space between the last word in a sentence and the full stop. For example:
Wrong: I am Jennifer .
Right: I am Jennifer. - There MUST be a space after the full stop and the first word of the next sentence.
Wrong: I am Jennifer.My office is in Kochi.
Right: I am Jennifer. My office is in Kochi. - The word that starts the next sentence after the full stop must be capitalized. For example:
Wrong: I am Jennifer. my office is in Kochi.
Right: I am Jennifer. My office is in Kochi.
Note: The pronoun I is always capitalized wherever it falls in a sentence. For example:
I have to go to the store.
He said that I have to go to the store.
I have also shown a similar problem with the comma above. I will discuss comma usage in an upcoming e-mail.
