Periods
Rule 1:
Use a period at the end of a complete sentence that is a statement.
Example:
I know that you would never break my trust intentionally.
Rule 2:
If the last word in the sentence ends in a period, do not follow it with another period.
Examples:
I know that M.D. She is my sister-in-law.
Please shop, cook, etc. I will do the laundry.
Rule 3:
Use the period after an indirect question.
Example:
He asked where his suitcase was.

After learning the rules, we will do some practice tests or quizzes to help us improve our writing skill.
It is highly recommended that you make an effort to learn the punctuation rules before you start writing. The better you know the basic foundations of writing, the more readable your text will become. It will also make the writing process more enjoyable. :)
Good luck!
