Words are grouped together into sentences. When writing, there are a few simple rules you need to follow to make sure your sentences are clear.
- Firstly, a sentence needs a capital letter at the beginning and a punctuation mark at the end. The punctuation at the end could be a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark.
- A sentence also needs to contain a verb and it must make complete sense all on its own.
- Different types of sentence do different jobs. Some state facts, some ask questions, some give orders and some express an emotion.
Watch the short video on Bitesize to find out more.
How do you punctuate the different types of sentence?
Statements are usually punctuated with a full stop but can also use an exclamation mark.
For example: The cat ran away down the street.
Commands can be punctuated with a full stop or an exclamation mark.
For example: Fetch me my cat.
A question sentence can only be punctuated with a question mark at the end.
For example: Have you found my cat yet?
An exclamation sentence can only be punctuated with an exclamation mark.
For example: What an amazing cat!
