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 period, 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. 'I like ice cream.' is a simple sentence. Notice the capital 'I' at the beginning and the period at the end. Another example is 'What is your favorite color?' This sentence ends with a question mark because it is asking something. Can anyone tell me what punctuation we use for excitement? That's right, an exclamation mark! For example, 'I won the game!'
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.' First, we start with a capital 'T'. What comes next? Yes, we write 'he dog is barking.' Now, what punctuation do we need at the end? Correct! A period. Let's write it together: 'The dog is barking.' Great job!
Now it's your turn! 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 writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if you used punctuation correctly. You can use periods, question marks, or exclamation marks!
