  3. ? is a question mark
  4. ! is an exclamation mark
  5. ' is an apostrophe or single quote mark
  6. " is a quotation mark
  7. : is a colon
  8. ; is a semicolon
  9. ... is an ellipsis mark
  10. - is a hyphen
  11. is an en dash
  12. is an em dash
  13. ( ) are parentheses or curved brackets

There are other punctuation marks but used less often. Other languages have other marks, such as French using guillemets, « » as quotation marks.
