About this worksheet
Five sentences with no capital and no end mark. Write each one the right way.
What kids practice
Every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a mark. A period ends a telling sentence, a question mark ends an asking sentence, and an exclamation mark shows a strong feeling. First graders also learn that names, days of the week, months and the word I always get a capital.
Watch for
- Writing a lowercase i for the word I.
- Forgetting the capital on names of days and months.
- Putting a period at the end of a question.
- Using capitals in the middle of words, like caT.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full capitals and end marks guide for 1st grade.
