They are: the period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, brackets, braces, parentheses, apostrophe, quotation mark, and ellipsis. If you want to make your writing easier to read and generally look more professional, you should know what each one is and how to use them.
We use them to exclaim something or show excitement. I see them used with question marks. I think this is a common mistake and it makes the questioner sound rude without them even knowing it.
we use punctuation marks to stress our written speech, emphasize and accent. They indicate where our expression begins and where they stop.
