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
- Period (.)
- A period is used at the end of a sentence that tells us something.
- Example:
- “The cat is sleeping.”
- Question Mark (?)
- A question mark is used at the end of a sentence that asks something.
- Example:
- “What time is it?”
- 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)
- “The sun is shining __.”
