Complete step-by-step answer:

 Punctuation is an important part of any language. They indicate where sentences start and end, separate phrases from each other and denote where strong feelings are expressed amongst many other functions. There are different types of punctuation marks like full stop, comma, colon, semicolon, exclamation mark, etc. All these punctuation marks have their own specific functions. Omitting these marks can cause great confusion and disorientation.
Let us look at an example of a punctuation mark-
The national park was full of wild animals like lions, tigers, bears, and foxes.
The commas between the animals differentiate between the different classes of animals. If these commas had been missing, we would be disoriented and not be able to comprehend the sentence properly.
Here are some rules of punctuation.
1. The sentence always begins with a capital letter and ends with a full stop.
2. Proper nouns begin with capital letters.
3. The letter I which denotes a first-person singular pronoun is always capital.
Let us consider the question given above- I like the poems of amrita pritam.
Here, the ‘i’ is small, the proper nouns have not been capitalized and the sentence ends without any punctuation mark. Following the rules mentioned above, we can punctuate this sentence as – I like the poems of Amrita Pritam.

Note: Following the rules of punctuation makes your subject matter concise, accurate, and credible.
