The dot operator, or period, is used to indicate a method available to an object, and is appended to the object and followed by the method name and arguments. In this case, the format() method is available to String objects, so would be appended to the string being formatted. Further information on this can be found in the Python documentation, but I've included an example below.
preterite = "memed"
"I accidentally {} the whole thing.".format(preterite)
