The task in the image involves adding speech marks to sentences that represent what people are saying. Speech marks (also known as quotation marks) are used to indicate direct speech, which is when someone's exact words are being quoted.
Solution and Explanation:
1.
Identify the sentences that need speech marks:
- Look for sentences where someone is speaking or expressing something directly.
- These sentences will typically include phrases like "said," "asked," "shouted," etc.
2.
Add speech marks around the spoken words:
- Place an opening speech mark (`"`) at the beginning of the spoken words.
- Place a closing speech mark (`"`) at the end of the spoken words.
3.
Apply this to each sentence:
#### Example Sentences:
-
The little boy said, "I want a sweet."
- Here, the boy is speaking directly, so we add speech marks around "I want a sweet."
-
His teacher said, "Well done!"
- The teacher is speaking directly, so we add speech marks around "Well done!"
-
Mummy said, "I love you."
- Mummy is speaking directly, so we add speech marks around "I love you."
-
Saddy said, "Where is my pet?"
- Saddy is asking a question directly, so we add speech marks around "Where is my pet?"
Final Answer with Speech Marks Added:
1.
The little boy said, "I want a sweet."
2.
His teacher said, "Well done!"
3.
Mummy said, "I love you."
4.
Saddy said, "Where is my pet?"
Summary:
Speech marks are essential for indicating direct speech. By placing them correctly around the spoken words, we clearly show what each person is saying. This helps improve clarity and understanding in written communication.
