A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark, such as a full stop (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!). For example, 'The cat is sleeping.' is a complete sentence. Today, we will learn how to write our own sentences and use punctuation correctly.
Let’s look at some examples together. Here are three sentences: 1. 'I love ice cream.' 2. 'What is your name?' 3. 'Wow, that is amazing!' Notice how each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with the correct punctuation. The first is a statement, the second is a question, and the third shows excitement.
Now, let’s write a sentence together. I will say a sentence, and you will help me write it on the board. The sentence is: 'The dog is barking.' What do we need to remember? Yes! We start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Let’s write it together: 'The dog is barking.' Great job! Now, let’s try another one.
Now it’s your turn to write your own sentences! I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After you finish, share your sentences with a partner and check if they have used punctuation correctly.
