<p>Is it grammatically correct to use periods after phrases in the activity descriptions? This probably doesn’t matter, but it’s something I’m curious about.</p>
<p>e.g, “Helped organize a fundraiser.”</p>
<p>Should there be a period after a phrase or list of phrases?</p>
<p>well if you use semi-colons, I do not think that you are supposed to use periods. Mine was just like (Entered CCS (1212); Varsity Starting (1212); Won the …) so I didnt really feel periods were appropriate. But like you said, they should not matter at all.</p>
<p>I’ve been writing lists of phrases:</p>
<p>“Wrote local newsletter, organized fundraiser, drew illustrations.”</p>
<p>Would I put a period at the end?</p>
<p>Sadly, my academic study of grammar was limited, but I have an answer from a practical standpoint.</p>
<p>The question as to whether a period is needed after a phrase arises because we all know that a period (or other punctuation) is needed to end a sentence, and a phrase is not a complete sentence. However, a period is still helpful to the reader because it tells the reader when to stop. Also, these phrases are similar to sentences because the subject (“I”) is understood. I would recommend using a period after a phrase or list of phrases as a result.</p>
