Why do we have to learn to use Punctuation Marks and other symbols in english and spanish?

Although some “international” punctuation marks and special characters are used and recognized in different languages, every language has its own punctuation rules and unique symbols. Learning them is a crucial part of your language acquisition process, as they are vital to developing your writing skills in the new language. 

These unique punctuation marks and other symbols in Spanish generally work in similar ways to how they behave in English, which make it easier to understand their use.

These special characters tell you when to pause, how to adapt the tone of your voice, and other important information. Punctuation can make an enormous difference in the meaning of whatever it is you’re writing.

A hidden benefit of learning punctuation rules is that by mastering them, you’ll start thinking more about the structure of your sentences and the parts of speech you’ll use with them. In other words, you’ll become more “grammar conscious,” and your will improve as a result.
