Full Stop

A full stop (or period in the U.S.) is a punctuation mark (.) which signifies the end of a sentence. Full stops are also used in abbreviations.

Examples:

The hammerhead sharks circled the boat for more than a week.

B.B.C. / Prof. Munro

Remember, a sentence is a group of grammatically complete words that expresses a complete thought. A sentence must contain a subject and a verb (even if one or the other is implied). Once you have written a sentence, you cannot put a comma and carry on writing. This is called a run-on error.

I love angel cake, it is my favourite.
