A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. Every sentence 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. Here are three sentences: 1. 'The dog barks.' 2. 'Are you coming to the party?' 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 expresses excitement.
Now, let's practice writing sentences as a class. I will say a sentence, and you will help me write it on the board. For example, if I say, 'The sun is shining,' we will write it together, ensuring we start with a capital letter and end with a period. After that, we will create a question together, like 'Is it sunny today?' and write it with a question mark.
It's your turn to write! I want you to think of two sentences about your favorite animal. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with the correct punctuation. After you write your sentences, share them with a partner and check if they have the correct punctuation and spacing.
