Definition
A mark can be a visible sign, line, or stain on something, or a symbol written to show information. In plural, marks also often means school grades or scores.
Usage & Nuances
Very context-dependent. Common patterns: 'get good marks' (school), 'leave marks' (create visible signs), and 'punctuation marks'. Don't confuse noun 'marks' with the verb form in 'She marks the test'. In American English, 'grades' is often more common for school results.
