Use of full stop signs in sentences : 
1. The full stop (.) will be used after declarative sentences that do not indicate inquiry or exclamation.
 Examples : 
i.Most of the pupils were well prepared for the exam.
ii.Many students live there.

2. After mild command, polite request we use full stop (.) in a sentence.
Examples :
i. Pass the book to Rana.
ii. Shafin, will you take out the garbage.
3. With educational degree related abbreviations we use full stop (.) after the letters.
Examples :
H. S. C = Higher Secondary Certificate
B.A = Bachelor of Arts

At present we are also writing as BA , MA in such a way. But for our exam we will follow the above rules. 
4. We use full stop when we are writing email or web addresses.

But according to Oxford, in American English, USA or U.S.A. both are right.
8. We should not use full stop (.) after the last letter when we will find abbreviations such as Mister, Limited, Doctor etc.
Examples :
•Mr  •Ltd •Dr
9. If we find the abbreviation at the end of the Interrogative then we have to use the respected signs after the full stop (.).
Examples:
•Will you need to send the product on C.O.D.? (C.O.D. = Cash on Delivery )
10. When we are using brackets (), if the explanation of a sentence is not a complete sentence or a phrase, then we have to use full stop outside the ending bracket.
Example :
•Motel rooms are likely to be in short supply through August (in peak travel period).
11. If the explanation of a sentence is a complete sentence, we have to use a full stop inside the ending bracket.
Example:
• RatanÕs house is the largest one on the block. (It also happens to be the ugliest.)
12. Use full stop inside the quotation mark at the ending of a sentence.
Example :
•The minister’s speech both began and ended with the word ‘ democracy.’
13. In a quoted passage, it is a rule that we have to use 3 full stops (…) in the middle of the sentence and 4 full stops (….) at the end of the sentence if we donÕt finish the sentences.
Example:
•Mr AhmedÕs letter reads as follows: Ò After a thorough investigation of the matter… we reached the conclusion that the error was not due to negligence„.Ó
