Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the capitalization and punctuation.
---
Sentence 1: “my cat tom likes winters”
- Start with a capital letter: “My”
- “tom” is a name → should be “Tom”
- End with a period (it’s a statement)
→
My cat Tom likes winters.
Wait — “winters” here probably means the season, so it doesn’t need to be capitalized unless it’s part of a title or specific event. But in this context, it’s just “winter” as a season. Actually, let’s check: “likes winters” — that might mean he likes multiple winter seasons? That sounds odd. More likely, it should be “winter” (singular). But since the original says “winters”, we’ll keep it as is unless told otherwise. However, in standard usage, we say “likes winter”. Let me double-check… The instruction is only about capitalization and end punctuation — not changing words. So we leave “winters” but capitalize properly.
Actually, re-reading: “Rewrite the following sentences with the correct capitalizations and end punctuation marks.” So we don’t change word forms — just fix caps and punctuation.
So:
→
My cat Tom likes winters.
But wait — “winters” as a common noun shouldn’t be capitalized. It isn’t in the original, so we’re fine. Just add period.
Final for #1:
My cat Tom likes winters.

Sentence 2: “she and i love to skate”
- “she” → “She” (start of sentence)
- “i” → always capitalized as “I”
- End with period
→
She and I love to skate.
---
Sentence 3: “do you want hot cocoa”
- This is a question → starts with capital “D”, ends with question mark
→
Do you want hot cocoa?
---
Sentence 4: “where is your sweater”
- Also a question → capitalize first letter, add question mark
→
Where is your sweater?
---
Sentence 5: “granny bakes cookies for phil every year”
- “granny” → if used as a name/title, often capitalized. In this case, it’s referring to a specific person (like “Grandma”), so “Granny”
- “phil” → name → “Phil”
- Statement → end with period
→
Granny bakes cookies for Phil every year.
---
Now let’s write all corrected sentences:
1. My cat Tom likes winters.
2. She and I love to skate.
3. Do you want hot cocoa?
4. Where is your sweater?
5. Granny bakes cookies for Phil every year.
Wait — back to #1: “winters” — is that correct? In everyday English, we usually say “likes winter” (uncountable). But again, the task is only about capitalization and punctuation — not grammar fixes beyond that. Since the original says “winters”, we leave it. Maybe it’s intentional (e.g., he likes each winter season). We follow instructions strictly.
Also, in #5, “Granny” — yes, when used as a proper noun (replacing a name), it’s capitalized. Same with “Phil”.
All set.
Final Answer:
1. My cat Tom likes winters.
2. She and I love to skate.
3. Do you want hot cocoa?
4. Where is your sweater?
5. Granny bakes cookies for Phil every year.
