The sentence can be given as a grammatical puzzle [7] [8] [9] or an item on a test, [1] [2] for which one must find the proper punctuation to give it meaning. Hans Reichenbach used a similar sentence ("John where Jack had...") in his 1947 book Elements of Symbolic Logic as an exercise for the reader, to illustrate the different levels of language, namely object language and metalanguage.
The declarative sentence is the most common kind of sentence in language, in most situations, and in a way can be considered the default function of a sentence. What this means essentially is that when a language modifies a sentence in order to form a question or give a command, the base form will always be the declarative.

the comma after Mother Teresa creates ambiguity about the writer's mother because it uses punctuation identical to that used for an appositive phrase, leaving it unclear whether this is a list of three entities (1, my mother; 2, Mother Teresa; and 3, the pope) or of only two entities (1, my mother, who is Mother Teresa; and 2, the pope).

A sentence is written without spaces and a space is typically used to mark the end of a clause or sentence. Tibetic The Tibetan script uses two different full stops: tshig-grub ( U+0F0D ། TIBETAN MARK SHAD ) marks the end of a section of text, while the don-tshan ( U+0F0E ༎ TIBETAN MARK NYIS SHAD ) is used to mark the end of a whole topic.
