Point

The point indicates the pause that occurs at the end of a statement. Except in the case that it appears in an abbreviation, after a period it will be capitalized.


Comma

Through the comma a short pause is marked within a sentence. Comma is used to separate components of the sentence or syntagma, phrases of the sentence or sentences within higher units. It is also used to enclose clauses or clarifications and to indicate omissions, especially in the case of verbal forms: If you come, we wait for you; If not (you come), we leave.



The two points

They are used before a textual quote, says the saying: "Better late than never", and before an enunciation: The seasons are four: spring, summer, autumn and winter After the courtesy formulas that lead the letters and documents.

The semicolon represents an intermediate pause lower than that of the point and higher than that of the as. It is used to separate the elements of an enumeration when it comes to complex expressions that include commas: His hair is brown; the green eyes; the nose, upturned
