Punctuation marks are important in writing because they help us understand how to read sentences. Today, we will learn about the full stop (.) and the question mark (?). A full stop tells us that a sentence has ended, while a question mark shows that someone is asking something. Let's look at some examples together.
Here are two sentences: 'I like to play' and 'What is your name' Notice that the second sentence is missing a question mark. Let's correct it together: 'What is your name?'. Now both sentences are correct! Remember, every sentence needs proper punctuation.
Now, let's practice building sentences. I will give you some words, and you will help me form a complete sentence. For example, if I say 'dog', 'the', and 'runs', you can help me say, 'The dog runs.' Let's try another one together: 'cat', 'the', 'sleeps'. What sentence can we make?
Now it's your turn! I will give you a worksheet with sentences that have mistakes. Your job is to find the mistakes and correct them. Pay attention to punctuation and spacing. After you finish, we will share our sentences with a partner and see how we did!
