Punjab State Board PSEB 7th Class English Book Solutions English Vocabulary Punctuation Exercise Questions and Answers, Notes.

PSEB 7th Class English Vocabulary Punctuation

Punctuation का अर्थ है-लिखने में प्रयुक्त विराम चिन्ह। जब कभी हम लिखते हैं तो हमें अपने भावों को स्पष्ट करने के लिए कई स्थानों पर रुकना पड़ता है। इसके लिए कुछ विशेष नियम हैं और उन्हीं के अनुसार हम विराम चिन्हों का वाक्यों में प्रयोग करते हैं। ग़लत चिन्ह लगाने से वाक्यों का अर्थ भी बदल जाता है। यह बात नीचे लिखे वाक्यों से स्पष्ट हो जाएगी।

Examples:

1. “The Sun”, said the Moon, “moves round the Earth.”
2. The Sun said, “The Moon moves round the Earth.”

ऊपर दिए गए दोनों वाक्य एक जैसे शब्द समूहों से बने हैं, परन्तु विराम चिन्ह अलग-अलग ढंग से लगाए गए हैं जिससे कि इनके अर्थों में अन्तर आ गया है।

पहले वाक्य का यह अर्थ निकलता है-
चन्द्रमा ने कहा, “सूर्य पृथ्वी के चारों ओर घूमता है।”
इसके विपरीत दूसरे वाक्य का अर्थ निकलता है
सूर्य ने कहा, “चन्द्रमा पृथ्वी के चारों ओर घूमता है।”

Capital Letters and Important Punctutation Marks

1. Capital Letters. [ABC]
2. Full Stop [.]
3. Comma [,]
4. Mark of Interrogation [?]
