combination with other signs point
1) The point is always written after the quotation marks, parentheses and dashes of closure. Uses
correct:
He said: "Alone at last."
With these words he left. (I think he was very angry).
had come to the house of his brother Paul.
2) No item should be written after the end of question marks or exclamation, although they finished the sentence. For example, the score of the sequence is incorrect:
Is it true that your mother will not come to the party?. I can not believe it. Are you absolutely sure?.
point should be written only if after the question mark or exclamation is closing parentheses or quotation marks. Uses
correct:
Yesterday served four years (can you believe?).
from the back of the room came a cry: "Objection!".
3) If an abbreviation point coincides with the closing statement must be written a single point, never two.
Misuse:
all had drinks wine, beer, cider, etc. ..
4) Never write another point after the dots when they close a statement.
Misuse:
several sports: football, tennis, golf ....
