关于etc.的一些用法

简介

这里介绍一下etc.的一个用法. 当etc.出现在句子末尾的时候, 我们是否还会再增加".". 比如下面的这个例子. 是第一个是正确的还是第二个是正确的.

• It's all about apples, oranges, bananas, etc.
• VS.
• It's all about apples, oranges, bananas, etc..

When “etc.” is at the end of a phrase, do you place a period after it?

etc使用方式

如果etc在末尾进行出现, 我们不需要重复".". 即上面第一种情况是正确的. 下面是一个比较完整的解释.

If etc. occurs at the end of a sentence, then you do not add another period.

It's all about apples, oranges, bananas, etc.

However, if etc. occurs at the end of a clause, you can add a comma or other punctuation mark after it.

I bought the apples, oranges, etc., but they were all rotten.
