What are End marks

What is a Sentence?
A sentence is a group of words that tells a complete idea. Every sentence needs a special mark at the end. These marks help us understand the sentence better!


Types of End Marks

  1. Period (.)
    • A period is used at the end of a sentence that tells us something.
    • Example:
      • “The cat is sleeping.”
  2. Question Mark (?)
    • A question mark is used at the end of a sentence that asks something.
    • Example:
      • “What time is it?”
  3. Exclamation Mark (!)
    • An exclamation mark is used at the end of a sentence that shows excitement or a strong feeling.
    • Example:
      • “Wow! That was fun!”

Choose the Correct End Mark

  • How to Choose the Right Mark:
    Think about what the sentence is doing. Is it telling, asking, or showing excitement? This will help you decide which end mark to use.
  • Examples:
    • “The sun is shining __.”
      (Answer: . because it’s telling us something)
    • “Can we go to the park __?”
      (Answer: ? because it’s asking something)
    • “Hooray, we won the game __!”
      (Answer: ! because it shows excitement)

Add the Correct End Mark

  • How to Add the Correct Mark:
    After writing or reading a sentence, think about what kind of sentence it is. Add a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.
  • Example:
    • “The dog is barking __”
      (Answer: Add a period)

Correct the Sentence

  • Fixing Sentences:
    Some sentences may have the wrong end mark. Your job is to find the mistake and fix it.
  • Example:
    • “I love ice cream?”
      (Answer: Change ? to ! because it’s showing excitement: “I love ice cream!”)

Match the Sentence to the End Mark

  • Practice Matching Sentences:
    Match a sentence to the correct end mark based on what it is saying or asking.
  • Examples:
    • “What is your favorite color?”
      (Answer: Match it to ?)
    • “This is my new bike.”
      (Answer: Match it to .)
    • “Look out for the car!”
      (Answer: Match it to !)
