Let's go through each sentence and determine the correct punctuation mark to use:
period (.),
question mark (?), or
exclamation mark (!).

1. A big lion is roaring in the cage
✔ This is a declarative sentence — it states a fact.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *A big lion is roaring in the cage.*
---
2. I can see a little turtle in the sea
✔ This is also a declarative sentence, stating something observed.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *I can see a little turtle in the sea.*
---
3. Girls love playing with dolls
✔ Another statement of fact.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *Girls love playing with dolls.*
---
4. Look at the peacocks on the tree
✔ This is an imperative sentence (a command or instruction), and it’s meant to draw attention. It has a tone of excitement or urgency.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
!
👉 *Look at the peacocks on the tree!*
---
5. The lovely red rose is on the table
✔ Declarative sentence.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *The lovely red rose is on the table.*
---
6. Oh A sweet chick with a brown hen
⚠️ There’s a missing space after "Oh" — but more importantly, this sentence starts with "Oh", which expresses surprise or emotion.
Also, the phrase "A sweet chick with a brown hen" seems like a description following an exclamation.
So, we need an exclamation mark to express emotion.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
!
👉 *Oh! A sweet chick with a brown hen.*
(Note: We should add a space after "Oh!" for proper formatting.)

7. Kate is going with her bag
✔ Simple declarative sentence.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *Kate is going with her bag.*
---
8. The bear loves to eat honey
✔ Statement of fact.
➡️ Correct punctuation:
.
👉 *The bear loves to eat honey.*
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. A big lion is roaring in the cage
.
2. I can see a little turtle in the sea
.
3. Girls love playing with dolls
.
4. Look at the peacocks on the tree
!
5. The lovely red rose is on the table
.
6. Oh A sweet chick with a brown hen
!
7. Kate is going with her bag
.
8. The bear loves to eat honey
.
> 💡 Tip: Use
. for statements,
? for questions, and
! for exclamations or strong feelings. Sentence 4 and 6 are exclamatory, so they get
!. All others are simple statements.
