Instructions: Read each sentence carefully and look for clues. Use capital letters at the start of sentences, for the word I and for names. Choose a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark to finish each sentence.

Spot the Capital Letters

Each sentence has a capital letter missing. Rewrite the sentence correctly in the box. Remember: begin a sentence with a capital letter, and use a capital letter for a person's name.

1. sam has a red hat.

2. i can see a cat.

3. mia is in the park.

4. we went with tom.

Choose the Correct End Mark

Read each sentence aloud. Choose a full stop for a telling sentence, a question mark for a question, or an exclamation mark for a sentence that shows strong feeling. Write the correct end mark in the box.

1. The dog is on the mat ___

2. Where is my red cup ___

3. What a big fish ___

4. I like my new book ___

5. Can you help me ___

Fix the Sentence

Each sentence needs a capital letter at the beginning and an end mark. Rewrite each one correctly. Look for clues: a question asks something, and an exclamation shows strong feeling.

1. is ben at school

2. i have a blue ball

3. what a fun game

4. can we play now

Which End Mark?

Choose the best end mark for each sentence. Read the words carefully, then circle one option: full stop, question mark or exclamation mark.

1. The sun is hot.

2. Who has my pencil?

3. Hooray, we won!

4. Is that your hat?

Complete the Sentences

Finish each sentence with the correct end mark. Then write the sentence again with its capital letters in the right places. Remember that the word I always needs a capital letter.

1. ___ like to play ___

2. where is my teddy ___

3. what a lovely day ___

4. ___ can see mia ___
