Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the mistakes. The main things we need to correct are:
- Capitalize the first word of every sentence.
- Capitalize proper nouns (like names, days of the week, places, cities, parks, etc.).
- Add periods at the end of statements or question marks for questions.
- Make sure commas are used correctly in lists.

1. we went fishing off the coast of california on sunday morning
→ Fix:
“we” → “We” (start of sentence)
“california” → “California” (proper noun – state name)
“sunday” → “Sunday” (day of the week)
Add period at the end.
✔ Corrected:
We went fishing off the coast of California on Sunday morning.

2. i am so excited to see my family for the holidays
→ Fix:
“i” → “I” (always capitalize “I”)
Add period at the end.
✔ Corrected:
I am so excited to see my family for the holidays.

3. jerry sam and stephen took a walk to lacy park
→ Fix:
“jerry”, “sam”, “stephen” → “Jerry”, “Sam”, “Stephen” (names)
“lacy park” → “Lacy Park” (name of a place — both words capitalized)
Add comma between names: “Jerry, Sam, and Stephen”
Add period at the end.
✔ Corrected:
Jerry, Sam, and Stephen took a walk to Lacy Park.

4. when are we going to disneyland
→ Fix:
“when” → “When” (start of sentence)
“disneyland” → “Disneyland” (proper noun – theme park name)
This is a question → add question mark.
✔ Corrected:
When are we going to Disneyland?

5. i live on lightview st corson city
→ Fix:
“i” → “I”
“lightview st” → “Lightview St.” (street name – abbreviate “Street” as “St.” with period)
“corson city” → “Corson City” (city name – both words capitalized)
Add period at the end.
✔ Corrected:
I live on Lightview St., Corson City.
*(Note: Some styles use a comma before the city, but since it’s written as “st corson city”, we’ll treat “Corson City” as the full city name and put a comma after the street if needed. But in this case, it’s likely meant to be “Lightview St., Corson City” — so we’ll add the comma for clarity.)*
Actually, looking again — it says “lightview st corson city” — probably means “Lightview Street in Corson City”. So better to write:
✔ Final version:
I live on Lightview St., Corson City.

6. tara and stacey went to the mall on saturday
→ Fix:
“tara” → “Tara”
“stacey” → “Stacey”
“saturday” → “Saturday”
Add period at the end.
✔ Corrected:
Tara and Stacey went to the mall on Saturday.

Final Answer:
1. We went fishing off the coast of California on Sunday morning.
2. I am so excited to see my family for the holidays.
3. Jerry, Sam, and Stephen took a walk to Lacy Park.
