    New student /help
    Message from samatar posted on 02-02-2012 at 23:56:38 (D | E | F)
    Hello,

    I just joined the web and I want to improve my English . People tell me that I speak a good English but that is not true I believe because sometimes it is very hard for me to have a chat with someone .
    Sometimes I go to the bank and want to talk to a clerk about my account and it is hard for me to find the right words so they get confused. I got one more problem when I write English as I don't know how to use these (.,'? " ! ` - () | \) some of them I don't even know their names or their common names, so that is why I am here to solve those problems .
    Thank you for your help.

    Evening,
    I'm sure you could find these anywhere but here are the names of some of the punctuation marks you listed:
    . full stop (American - period)
    , comma
    ; semi-colon
    : colon
    ? question mark
    " inverted commas
    ' apostrophe
    ! exclamation mark
    ( bracket () brackets
    ‒ dash
    - hyphen

    And you might want to look at this:

    Here is a little more to what stammer has already written.
    . full stop (American - period)
    , comma
    ; semi-colon
    : colon
    ? question mark
    " inverted commas (American - quotation marks)
    ' apostrophe
    ! exclamation mark
    ( bracket () brackets [American - parenthesis (sing.) / parentheses (plur.)]
    [ ] brackets (American)

    Here are a couple of sites that may help you to learn when or how to use them:
