Absolutely! Let’s fix each sentence using the rules provided at the bottom:
✔ Rules to follow:
- Capital Letters & Proper Nouns
- Punctuation
- Spaces Between Words
---
1. “I did you see the gorilla at the zoo”
Problems:
- Word order is incorrect — should be “Did you see...” not “I did you see...”
- Missing question mark at the end (since it’s a question)
- “I” is capitalized correctly, but the sentence structure is wrong.
✔ Fixed:
Did you see the gorilla at the zoo?
*(Note: We removed “I” because it doesn’t belong in this question structure. If the intent was to say “I saw the gorilla,” that would be different — but as written, it’s clearly meant to be a question starting with “Did you.”)*
---
2. “he was with his family”
Problems:
- First word “he” needs to be capitalized.
- Missing punctuation at the end (period).
✔ Fixed:
He was with his family.
---
3. “I saw him climb up and down the trees”
Problems:
- First word “I” is already capitalized — good!
- Missing punctuation at the end (period).
✔ Fixed:
I saw him climb up and down the trees.
*(Note: “trees” is plural and correct if there were multiple trees. If it’s one tree, it would be “the tree,” but as written, we’ll assume plural is intended.)*

4. “the gorilla's name was benny”
Problems:
- “the” needs to be capitalized.
- “benny” is a proper noun (name of the gorilla) → must be capitalized.
- Missing punctuation at the end.
✔ Fixed:
The gorilla’s name was Benny.
---
5. “he waved at us when we saw him”
Problems:
- “he” needs to be capitalized.
- Missing punctuation at the end.
✔ Fixed:
He waved at us when we saw him.
