Although French and English use nearly all of the same punctuation marks, some of their uses in the two languages are considerably different. Rather than an explanation of the rules of French and English punctuation, this lesson is a simple summary of how French punctuation differs from English.

One-part punctuation marks These are very similar in French and English, with a few exceptions.

. le point
	1.	In French, the period is not used after abbreviations of measurement: 25 m (mètres), 12 min (minutes), etc.
	2.	It can be used to separate the elements of a date: 10 septembre 1973 = 10.9.1973
	3.	When writing numbers, either a period or a space may be used to separate every three digits (where a comma would be used in English): 1,000,000 (English) = 1.000.000 or 1 000 000
	4.	It's not used to indicate a decimal point (see virgule 1)

, la virgule
	1.	In French, the comma is used as a decimal point: 2.5 (English) = 2,5 (French)
	2.	Not used to separate three digits (see point 3)
	3.	Whereas in English, the "serial comma" is optional, it cannot be used in French: J'ai acheté un livre, deux stylos et du papier.

Note: When writing numerals, the period and comma are opposites in the two languages:
		French	English
		2,5 (deux virgule cinq) 2.500 (deux mille cinq cents)	2.5 (two point five) 2,500 (two thousand five hundred)



Two-part punctuation marksIn French, a space is required both before and after all two- (or more) part punctuation marks and symbols, including : ; « » ! ? % $ # etc.

: les deux-points	The colon is much more common in French than in English. It may introduce direct discourse; a citation; or the explanation, conclusion, summary, etc. of whatever precedes it. Jean a dit : « Je veux le faire. » Ce film est très intéressant : c'est un classique.

« » les guillemets et — le tiret et ... les points de suspension	The quotation marks (inverted commas) " " don't exist in French; the guillemets « » are used. Note that these are actual symbols; they are not just two angle brackets typed together << >>. If you don't know how to type guillemets, see my page on typing accents.
	Guillemets are usually used only at the beginning and end of an entire conversation. Unlike in English, where any non-speech is found outside of the quotation marks, in French guillemets do not end when an incidental clause (he said, she smiled, etc.) is added. To indicate that a new person is speaking, a tiret (m-dash) is added.
	In English, an interruption or trailing off of speech can be indicated with either a tiret or des points de suspension (ellipsis). In French only the latter is used.
		« Salut Jeanne ! dit Pierre. Comment vas-tu ? — Ah, salut Pierre ! crie Jeanne. — As-tu passé un bon weekend ? — Oui, merci, répond-elle. Mais... — Attends, je dois te dire quelque chose d'important ».	"Hi Jean!" Pierre says. "How are you?" "Oh, hi Pierre!" shouts Jeanne. "Did you have a nice weekend?" "Yes, thanks," she responds. "But—" "Wait, I have to tell you something important."
	The tiret can also be used like parentheses — to indicate or emphasize a comment: Paul — mon meilleur ami — va arriver demain.

; le point-virgule ! le point d'exclamation ? le point d'intérrogation	The semi-colon, exclamation point, and question mark are essentially the same in French and English.
