What this lesson teaches

A complete sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation point. Sorting words into groups, like animals or foods, helps you learn what they mean.

Worked example

Fix this: 'the dog runs' should be 'The dog runs.' with a capital T and a period. Words like apple, banana, grape all go in the group 'fruits.'

Practice questions

  1. Write a sentence with a capital letter and a period.
  2. Sort these into groups: cat, apple, dog, banana.
  3. Add the right end mark: Are you happy
