Instructions: A simple sentence tells us one complete idea. Start each sentence with a capital letter and finish it with a full stop. Read each example carefully, then try the activities.

Spot the Complete Sentence

A sentence makes sense on its own and tells us a complete idea. Read each line. Write “sentence” if it is complete, or “not yet” if it needs more words.

1. The cat sat.

2. A big red.

3. Sam can hop.

4. Ran to the park.

5. The sun is hot.

Fix the Capital Letter and Full Stop

Each sentence needs a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Rewrite each one correctly in the box. Check that your sentence still makes sense.

1. the dog can run

2. i see a red bus

3. ben has a big hat

4. we can jump

5. the fish is in the pond

Build a Sentence

Choose a word from the word bank to complete each sentence. Read the whole sentence aloud to check that it makes sense. Use each word once.

Word bank: sleeps, hop, shines, barks, swims

1. The dog ___ at the gate.

2. A frog can ___.

3. The bright sun ___ in the sky.

4. The fish ___ in the pond.

5. The baby ___ in the cot.

Choose the Sentence That Makes Sense

Read each pair. Circle the sentence that makes sense and has a capital letter and a full stop. Read both choices before you decide.

Finish the Sentence

Complete each sentence with your own idea. Begin your answer with a capital letter and finish with a full stop. Read your finished sentence to check that it tells a complete idea.

1. I can see ___.

2. My favourite animal is ___.

3. The little bird ___.

4. At playtime, I ___.

5. The rain ___.

Write Your Own Simple Sentence
