signos de puntuacion


Explanation:
Hasta donde yo recuerdo, no tenemos signos de puntuacion finales. Existe el punto final, pero no hay punto y coma final o signo de omision final. Por lo tanto, creo que con decir otros signos de puntuacion se entiende el mensaje. Ademas se explica en el parrafo que se trata de los signos que ayudaran a decidir donde hacer pausa.

Example sentence(s):
  • fijese en las comas y otros signos de puntuacion que le ayudaran a decidir...
