. 句点 period or full stop
1.用于当一句话完全结束时。
2.也可以用于英文单词的缩写,如 Mrs., Dr., P.S. 等。
? 问号 question mark
问号要用在一个直接的问句,而不是间接的。
如 How will you solve the problem?
! 惊叹号 exclamation mark
感叹号用于感叹和惊叹的陈述中
; 分号 semocolon
1.与中文一样,分号用于分隔地位平等的独立子句。
在某些情况下,使用分号比使用句点更显出子句之间的紧密联系
ex: I realize I need exercise; however, I’ll lie down first to think about it.
2.在句子中如果已经使用过逗点,为了避免歧义的产生,就用分号来分隔相似的内容。
ex: The employees were Tom Hanks, the manager; Jim White; and Dr. Jack Lee.

由于英美的引号用法并不一致,著名的文体指南有的建议双引号内使用单引号,有的则建议单引号内使用双引号。不过,视写作者的个人偏好而定,不管采用何种写法,整篇文章或整份文件须保持一致。
✔Does anyone know what the difference between "soon" and "when" is? (可以)
✔Does anyone know what the difference between 'soon' and 'when' is? (可以)
✘Does anyone know what the difference between "soon" and 'when' is? (错误)
