Let’s go through each sentence one by one to decide which punctuation mark fits best.
We have three choices:
- Period (.) → for normal statements
- Exclamation Mark (!) → for strong feelings or excitement
- Question Mark (?) → for questions
---
1. “I had a crazy day at school”
→ This is just telling something that happened. No big emotion, no question.
✔ Use period (.)
2. “When are we going to the museum”
→ Starts with “When” — this is asking something.
✔ Use question mark (?)
3. “You need to complete your homework on time daily”
→ This is giving an instruction or stating a rule. Not exciting, not a question.
✔ Use period (.)
4. “Please take out the trash when you get home”
→ This is a polite request. Still a statement, not a question or exclamation.
✔ Use period (.)
5. “My favorite team won the game”
→ Could be exciting! But unless it says “Wow!” or has excitement words, it’s still a statement. However, since it’s about winning, maybe they’re happy? Let’s think: In worksheets like this, if it doesn’t have “!” in the sentence itself, we usually treat it as a plain statement.
✔ Use period (.) — but some might argue for !. Since the example used “Go home directly after school.” as a period, we’ll stick with period unless there’s clear excitement.
Wait — let’s re-read: “My favorite team won the game” — if the student is excited, they might use !. But in standard grammar exercises, unless the tone is clearly excited (like “I can’t believe it!”), we use period. So I’ll go with period.
Actually — looking again at #7: “It is so exciting to see you” — that one has “so exciting”, so that one should be !. So #5 is more neutral.
✔ Period (.)
6. “What did you want to eat for lunch”
→ Starts with “What” — definitely a question.
✔ Question mark (?)
7. “It is so exciting to see you”
→ The word “exciting” shows strong feeling.
✔ Exclamation mark (!)
8. “Why do we have to go home so early”
→ Starts with “Why” — asking for reason.
✔ Question mark (?)
9. “How do we get to the amusement park”
→ Starts with “How” — asking for direction.
✔ Question mark (?)
