Problem Explanation:
The task requires rewriting the given declarative sentences correctly. A
declarative sentence is a statement that provides information and ends with a period. The key points to consider are:
1. Capitalize the first letter of the sentence.
2. Ensure proper grammar and punctuation.
3. End the sentence with a period.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Analyze and Correct Each Sentence
1.
Original Sentence:
"i fell asleep on the bus"
- Issue: The first letter is not capitalized.
- Correction: Capitalize the first letter and ensure it ends with a period.
- Corrected Sentence:
I fell asleep on the bus.
2.
Original Sentence:
"sofia gave the ball to matt"
- Issue: The first letter is not capitalized, and there is no capitalization for proper nouns ("Sofia" and "Matt").
- Correction: Capitalize the first letter and proper nouns, and ensure it ends with a period.
- Corrected Sentence:
Sofia gave the ball to Matt.
3.
Original Sentence:
"yesterday was tuesday"
- Issue: The first letter is not capitalized, and "Tuesday" should be capitalized as it is a proper noun (referring to a day of the week).
- Correction: Capitalize the first letter and "Tuesday," and ensure it ends with a period.
- Corrected Sentence:
Yesterday was Tuesday.
#### Step 2: Write Your Own Declarative Sentence
A declarative sentence must be a statement and end with a period. Here is an example:
-
