What is a sentence?
A group of words that tells an idea. A sentence always begins with a capital and ends with a full stop.
For example:
I like cats. I have 2 brothers. My best friend is called Tony.
Capitals are also used for proper nouns. A proper noun is a name of person, a place or book or movie title.
Do you know which of the following words would belong to the proper noun category:
Give it a try!
Australia, Sarah, Sonic the Hedgehog Movie, pizza, cat.
How did you go?
Full stops help you to read stories. For example, let's play a game.
Read the sentences below out loud. Stop to take a breath every time you see a full stop.
I rode my bike.
I went to the shops with my family.
We had a picnic at King’s Park.
Lily and James cleaned the house with their broomsticks.
Full stops, help you to know when a sentence has finished and you can breathe.
Pick one of your entries from the last activity and edit it, to make sure it has capital letters at the start of sentences and names, and full stops at the end of sentences.
