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, 'I love to play.' 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 a few sentences: 'The cat is sleeping.' 'What is your name?' 'Wow, that is amazing!' Notice how each sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark. We can also identify the subject and the action in each sentence.
Now, let's create sentences as a class. I will say a word, and you will help me form a sentence. For example, if I say 'dog', you might say, 'The dog is barking.' Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. After we create a few sentences, we will check if they all have correct punctuation.
It's your turn to write! I want you to write three sentences about your favorite animal. Make sure 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 they have the right punctuation and spacing.
