Today we will review the
pesky little symbols called PUNCTUATION
MARKS.
We need to use Punctuation
Marks correctly when we write References and
Citations.
Don’t worry; they don’t
bite or pinch like a
lobster.

SEMICOLON ;
A Semicolon is not used in formatting MLA or APA citations.
But, a semicolon
might be in text that you are quoting.

using words from another
person.

. . .

Use an apostrophe to make noun
possessives or a contraction. Sometimes a
book title has an apostrophe
in it.
An APOSTROPHE looks like a comma
but it is over a letter. For example
it’s.
![Page 14: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This is an AMPERSAND
& It means and.
Sometimes book titles use an Ampersand
instead of the word and.
![Page 15: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
An ASTERISK * is like a little star.
It is not very common. But a
book title may have one.
An EXCLAMATION
POINT ! indicates surprise or
something strong or funny. Some book titles have
one.
A QUESTION
MARK ? indicates a
question. Some book titles have
one.
![Page 16: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ROMAN NUMERALS
are sometimes used in book
titles.
Roman Numerals use
the letters X, I, V, C, M, D
instead of 1,2,3,4,54,6,7
etc.
Sometimes book pages before the
main text are written in Roman
Numerals.
![Page 17: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
For example, CEO means
Chief Executive Officer.
Book titles sometimes use an ACRONYM. This is a word spelled
with the first letters of other
words.
![Page 18: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Be careful with CAPITAL
LETTERS in book and article titles.
Use a Capital Letter for CONTENT
WORDS like nouns, verbs, adjectives
and adverbs.
Do not use Capital Letters for
FUNCTION WORDS like articles,
conjunctions and prepositions.
Ask your English teacher to explain if you have forgotten
about these words.
![Page 19: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If an father and son have the same name,
write Jr. after the son’s name. This means junior.
Sometimes an author uses a
middle INITIAL. A dot
follows the initial.
This is the first letter of a name. For
example J. for John.
Tim J. Smith
![Page 20: PUNCTUATION MARKS ETC. for Writing References & Citations.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649cfe5503460f949cf396/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
INDENT or TAB OVER
means to put 5 spaces from the left side of the
page.
In for the Reference List in MLA, you do not indent the first line of a reference
but additional lines are indented.
In a long intext citation, you do this.
