Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the punctuation. Remember, every sentence should start with a capital letter and end with the right punctuation mark — either a period (.) for statements or a question mark (?) for questions.
---
1. is that a panda
This is asking something — it’s a question. So we need to:
- Capitalize the first word: “Is”
- Add a question mark at the end
→
Is that a panda?
---
2. lions are fierce
This is telling us something — it’s a statement. So we need to:
- Capitalize the first word: “Lions”
- Add a period at the end
→
Lions are fierce.
---
3. joe likes papaya
This is also a statement. But “joe” is a person’s name, so it must be capitalized. Also, add a period at the end.
→
Joe likes papaya.
---
4. shall we go home
This is asking if we should go home — it’s a question. So:
- Capitalize “Shall”
- Add a question mark
→
Shall we go home?
---
5. who can sing
This is asking which person(s) can sing — definitely a question. So:
- Capitalize “Who”
- Add a question mark
→
Who can sing?
---
Final Answer:
1. Is that a panda?
2. Lions are fierce.
3. Joe likes papaya.
4. Shall we go home?
5. Who can sing?
