Let’s go through each sentence one by one.
The directions say:
→ Start with a capital letter.
→ End with a full stop (period).
We’ll fix each sentence to follow those rules.

Sentence 1:
Original: “an elephant has a long trunk”
Fix: Capitalize the first letter → “An”
Add period at end → “.”
New sentence:
An elephant has a long trunk.
---
Sentence 2:
Original: “i feel happy when it rains”
Fix: Capitalize “I” (always capitalized) → “I”
Add period at end → “.”
New sentence:
I feel happy when it rains.
*(Note: “I” is always uppercase, even in the middle of a sentence — but here it’s at the start anyway.)*

Sentence 3:
Original: “the moon is shining in the sky”
Fix: Capitalize first letter → “The”
Add period → “.”
