Ёдгор ўз ёнимда, баъзан Меҳрихонлар оиласига ҳам бориб келиб турамиз. (G.G.);

It should be noted that in English, prepositional phrases can also be turned into exclamations to express strong emotion, depending on the writer's purpose. For example, let's change the above English sentences into exclamatory sentences:
- "I run three miles every morning!"
- "I could study better if you turned down the music!"
- "Please start the car!"
2. In English, a period is also used at the end of demonstrative sentences containing an interrogative sentence, for example:
- "Jane asked Paul if he was hungry."
- "I wonder what has happened."
- "She asked him if the bus had left."
3. A period is used at the end of command sentences in English and Uzbek. In the Uzbek language, such command sentences do not mean a pure command, but are emotional, such as command-please, command-beg, command-request, command-advice, command-advice, command-warning, command-invitation (encouragement), command-permission (or offer). represents meanings. Each command sentence of this type is pronounced with a special tone and intonation. In the expression of the above meanings, the formation of the part of the command sentence, the use of some grammatical tools in it is important [25, p. 10]. For example, conditional, desiring affixes and some prepositions perform such a function. Therefore, imperative sentences with a period at the end have their own lexical-grammatical and intonation signs. For example:
Бугун зора ҳаво очилса. («Ҳаво очилсин» маъносида.)
Шундай ёш хотиннинг умрига зомин бўлганингдан кейин жабрини ҳам тортда. (Ғ. Ғ.)
Қўрқма, қочсанг ўзингга жабр қиласан. Қани, юр-чи ичкарига. (П.Турсун)
The use of the period at the end of imperative sentences in English:
- Close the door, please.
- Listen. Someone is knocking at the door.
- Look. The talking to the woman is my brother.
4. In the punctuation of English and Uzbek languages, some abbreviations are represented by a dot in their names:
etc. = and so on – and so on;
e.g. = for example – for example;
a.m. - time until half of the day;
p.m. - the second part of the day after midnight;
p. = page – page;
fig. = figure – picture;
Vol. = volume – chapter;
December = December – December;
Aug. = August – August;
Joanne K. Rowling - Joanne K. Rowling.
Also, it should be taken into account that if the abbreviations come at the end of the sentence, the full stop in it ends the sentence. However, when commas or question marks are used after abbreviations, they are followed by the corresponding period:
"Our offices are open each week Mon.-Fri." (abbreviations of Monday and Friday)
"My new house is on Lilac Ave., just across from the old courthouse." (abbreviation of Avenue)
"Are you returning to work in Feb.?" (abbreviation of February).
Abbreviations in Uzbek can be represented by dots as follows:
в.ҳ. – ва ҳоказо;
мн. – масалан;
в.б. – ва бошқалар;
Acronyms, which are a type of abbreviations in English and Uzbek, are not represented by periods. Because they are read and pronounced as one lexeme:
“Scientists from NASA have confirmed the spacecraft’s location on Mars.” (acronym of “National Aeronautics and Space Administration”)
“The officer went AWOL following the attack.” (acronym of “Absent Without Leave”)
“I need those documents finished A.S.A.P.” (acronym of “As Soon As Possible”; also often written as ASAP, asap, and a.s.a.p.)
“His scuba equipment turned out to be faulty.” (Scuba is actually an acronym of “self-contained underwater breathing apparatus,” but it is now written as a regular word.)
Acronyms in Uzbek language:
БМТ вакиллари ташриф буюришди.
ЮНЕСКО тасарруфига кирган давлат иншоотлари ҳозирги кунда авайлаб сақлаб келинмоқда.
Also, in Uzbek, as in English, a dot is used when the personal noun is shortened:
Ғ.Ғулом – Ғафур Ғулом
О. – Ойбек;
У. – Уйғун.
Abbreviations of nouns in English:
“Martin S. Smith, the renowned physicist, will be speaking here next month.”
“I love the writing of J.R.R. Tolkien.”
It should be noted that there are differences between the English variants in the use of the first name with words denoting occupation or address, with the American variant using a period and British English omitting it. For example:
Dr. Johnson - Dr. Johnson
Mr. and Mrs. Smith - Mr. and Mrs. Smith
Ph.D. candidate - graduate student / doctoral student
B.Sc. graduate - bachelor's degree / incomplete higher education
"Please cont. to page 41 for further instructions.” (abbreviation of continue)
"Dr. Davis has been of immense service to the hospital.” (abbreviation of Doctor)
British version:
Dr. Jekyll - Dr. Jekyll
Mr. Hyde - Mr. Hyde
Ms Marple - Miss Marple
PhD student - graduate student.
5. In the works written in Uzbek, a full stop is placed at the end of the comments or remarks. It is known that the remarks describe the events in the novel, the character's situation, inner experiences, and various explanations and comments of the author. For example:
Халқимга, ижодимга! (Кета бошлайди.);
Хайр, шоҳаншоҳ! (Йўлида давом этади. Ҳамма бош эгиб, турган жойида қотиб қолади. Ташқаридан Навоийни олқишлаган халқнинг овозлари эшитилади.) (И.Султон ва Уйғун)
Also, a full stop is placed at the end of the sentences that are often found on the pages of newspapers and magazines and are given in parentheses - There is a continuation, It begins in such and such an issue, The continuation is on page 3, Everyone stands up. For example:
(Газетамизнинг келгуси сони 2 ноябрда чиқади.),
(Давоми. Боши газетанинг ўтган сонида.)
