أَسْتَنْتِجُ.

I conclude.

عَلَامَاتُ التَّرْقِيمِ: إِشَارَاتٌ كِتَابِيَّةٌ لَهَا مَدْلُولَاتٌ تَرْتَبِطُ بِمَعْنَى الْجُمَلِ، وَتُسَاعِدُنَا عَلَى الْقِرَاءَةِ الْمُعَبِّرَةِ.

Punctuation marks: written symbols that convey meaning related to the structure of sentences and assist us in expressive reading.

وَهِيَ: ١. الْفَرَاغُ فِي أَوَّلِ السَّطْرِ: يَدُلُّ عَلَى بِدَايَةِ الْفِقْرَةِ.

They are: 1. The indentation at the start of a line: indicates the beginning of a paragraph.

الْفَاصِلَةُ (،): تُوضَعُ بَيْنَ الْجُمَلِ الْقَصِيرَةِ الْمُتَعَاطِفَةِ أَوِ الْمُتَّصِلَةِ فِي الْمَعْنَى.

The comma (,): used between short, related, or connected clauses.

٣. النُّقْطَةُ (.): تُوضَعُ فِي نِهَايَةِ الْجُمْلَةِ لِتَدُلَّ عَلَى تَمَامِ الْمَعْنَى، وَفِي نِهَايَةِ الْكَلَامِ.

3. The period (.): placed at the end of a sentence to signal a complete thought or the end of a passage.

٤. النُّقْطَتَانِ (:): تُوضَعَانِ بَعْدَ الْقَوْلِ أَوْ مَا فِي مَعْنَاهُ، وَعِنْدَ الشَّرْحِ وَالتَّفْسِيرِ.

4. The colon (:): placed after direct speech or similar expressions, and when providing an explanation or interpretation.

أَطَبِّقُ: ١. أَقْرَأُ الْفِقْرَةَ الْآتِيَةَ، ثُمَّ أَخْتَارُ مِمَّا بَيْنَ الْقَوْسَيْنِ عَلَامَةَ التَّرْقِيمِ الْمُنَاسِبَةَ:

Application: 1. Read the following paragraph, then choose the appropriate punctuation mark from the options provided:

قَالَ الْمُعَلِّمُ (:) إِنَّ الْجِدَّ وَالِاجْتِهَادَ طَرِيقُ كُلِّ طَالِبِ عِلْمٍ (.) وَسَبِيلُهُ لِتَحْقِيقِ ذَاتِهِ (.).

The teacher said: "Diligence and hard work are the path for every student of knowledge, and the way to achieve one's potential."

٢. أَقْرَأُ الْمِثَالَيْنِ الْآتِيَيْنِ، ثُمَّ أُنَفِّذُ النَّشَاطَ:

2. Read the following two examples, then complete the activity:

ضَحِكَتْ نَدَى (...) قَالَتْ لِأُمِّي مَا أَجْمَلَ عَلَامَاتِ التَّرْقِيمِ فِي لُغَتِنَا!

Nada laughed... and said to my mother, "How beautiful the punctuation marks are in our language!"

هَلْ أَنْتَ مَسْرُورٌ الْآنَ؟

Are you happy now?

١. أُلَاحِظُ أَنَّ النُّقَطَ الْمُتَوَالِيَةَ (...) تَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْكَلَامَ فِيهِ حَذْفٌ.

1. I notice that the ellipsis (...) indicates that words have been omitted from the text.

أُبَيِّنُ دَلَالَةَ إِشَارَةِ (!) مِنْ سِيَاقِ الْكَلَامِ.

I explain the significance of the exclamation mark (!) based on the context.

٢. أُسَمِّي عَلَامَةَ التَّرْقِيمِ الَّتِي انْتَهَى بِهَا الْمِثَالُ الثَّانِي، ثُمَّ أُبَيِّنُ دَلَالَتَهَا.

2. I name the punctuation mark that ends the second example and explain its purpose.

أَسْتَنْتِجُ.

I conclude.

النُّقَطُ الْمُتَوَالِيَةَ (...) تَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْكَلَامَ فِيهِ حَذْفٌ أَوْ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ.

The ellipsis (...) indicates that the text contains an omission or is incomplete.

عَلَامَةُ التَّعَجُّبِ (!): تُوضَعُ بَعْدَ التَّعَجُّبِ أَوِ النِّدَاءِ أَوْ مَا يَدُلُّ عَلَى الْفَرَحِ وَالْأَلَمِ.

The exclamation mark (!): placed after expressions of wonder, vocatives, or words conveying joy or pain.

عَلَامَةُ الِاسْتِفْهَامِ (؟): تُوضَعُ بَعْدَ الْجُمَلِ الِاسْتِفْهَامِيَّةِ.

The question mark (?): placed after interrogative sentences.

أَطَبِّقُ: أَكْتُبُ عَلَامَةَ التَّرْقِيمِ الْمُنَاسِبَةَ فِي.

Application: Write the appropriate punctuation mark in the space provided.

أَيُّهَا الْمُعَلِّمُ (،) هَلْ مِنْ عَطَاءٍ يُوَازِي عَطَاءَكَ (؟) فَأَنْتَ مِثَالٌ يُحْتَذَى فِي الْبَذْلِ.

O teacher, is there any contribution that equals yours? You are a model of generosity.
