💡 Thinking Question:

> What is the purpose of the sentence? What punctuation should be used?

👉 The purpose determines the type of sentence and thus the correct punctuation:
- Statement → period
- Question → question mark
- Command → period (or exclamation if strong)
- Strong feeling → exclamation mark

This helps us choose the right end mark and identify the sentence type.
