I'm not sure about what you're asking exactly but if you are asking what punctuations to use and where to use them, here:

a comma or , is used to break the sentences into shorter pieces but not full pieces.

for example: "can you please remember to get some candy, milk, and a sandwich?"

a period or . is used when you want the reader to come to a full stop before moving on to the next sentence, it breaks words into full pieces.

for example: "I got your candy, milk and sandwich. Do not send me on any other orders."

an exclamation or ! is used when something exciting or scary happens, basically when something sudden happens, this also includes sounds.

for example: "Oh my goodness, she fell!"

quotation marks or " ' is used when some sort of dialogue is going on, quotation marks differenciate what a person is saying from other words.

for example: Mark said, "Can I get a bottle of water " as he reached for his wallet.

There's more but I am too tired lol
