Punctuation like, comma, full stop, interrogation point ...

HI, love the dictées. I get muddled with punctuation. The fluctuations of the tone of voice is not always a good hint, especially when we stop and start mid-sentence. Short of my  listening to the entire dictée a few times prior to starting, and taking notes, do you have any hints that might help? Thanks.
