Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the mistakes. The main things we need to check are:
- Capital letters at the start of sentences.
- Capital letters for names, days, months, places, and proper nouns.
- Commas where needed (like in lists).
- Question marks if it’s a question.
- Periods at the end of statements.

Sentence 1:
Original: *we went fishing off the coast of california on sunday morning*
Fixes:
- “we” → “We” (start of sentence)
- “california” → “California” (proper noun – state name)
- “sunday” → “Sunday” (day of week)
→ Final:
We went fishing off the coast of California on Sunday morning.
---
Sentence 2:
Original: *i am so excited to see my family for the holidays*
Fixes:
- “i” → “I” (always capitalize “I”)
→ Final:

---
Sentence 3:
Original: *jerry sam and stephen took a walk to lacy park*
Fixes:
- “jerry”, “sam”, “stephen” → “Jerry”, “Sam”, “Stephen” (names)
- Add comma between names: “Jerry, Sam, and Stephen”
- “lacy park” → “Lacy Park” (proper noun – place name)
→ Final:
Jerry, Sam, and Stephen took a walk to Lacy Park.
---
Sentence 4:
Original: *when are we going to disneyland*
Fixes:
- “when” → “When” (start of sentence)
- “disneyland” → “Disneyland” (proper noun – theme park name)
- It’s a question → add question mark
→ Final:
When are we going to Disneyland?
---
Sentence 5:
Original: *i live on lightview st corson city*
Fixes:
- “i” → “I”
- “lightview st” → “Lightview St.” (street name – abbreviate “Street” as “St.” with period)
- “corson city” → “Corson City” (city name – both words capitalized)
→ Final:
I live on Lightview St., Corson City.
*(Note: Some styles use a comma before the city, but since this is elementary editing, we’ll keep it simple unless told otherwise.)*
---
Sentence 6:
Original: *tara and stacey went to the mall on saturday*
Fixes:
- “tara” → “Tara”
