Step-by-step solution for: Worksheet of Class-IV-English Punctuation Worksheet-04-Punctuation ...
Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the punctuation. We’ll add capital letters at the start, periods at the end, commas where needed, and make sure names and places are capitalized correctly.
---
1. wasn’t watching the puppy chasing its tail fun
→ This is a question (it’s asking if something was fun). So we need to start with a capital letter and end with a question mark. Also, “wasn’t” should be “Wasn’t”.
✔ Fixed: Wasn’t watching the puppy chasing its tail fun?
2. its important to write in clear simple accurate words
→ “Its” should be “It’s” (short for “It is”). The sentence needs a period at the end. Also, we can add commas between the adjectives for clarity.
✔ Fixed: It’s important to write in clear, simple, accurate words.
3. mumbai is the capital of maharashtra
→ “Mumbai” and “Maharashtra” are proper nouns — they must be capitalized. Add a period at the end.
✔ Fixed: Mumbai is the capital of Maharashtra.
4. nikhil said who took my eraser
→ When someone speaks, we put their words in quotation marks. Also, “Nikhil” is a name → capitalize it. The spoken part is a question → ends with a question mark inside the quotes.
✔ Fixed: Nikhil said, “Who took my eraser?”
5. that birthday cake was so good
→ Start with capital letter, end with period or exclamation mark (since it sounds excited!). Let’s use an exclamation mark to match the feeling.
✔ Fixed: That birthday cake was so good!
6. don’t go outside she said
→ Again, someone is speaking → use quotation marks. “Don’t” starts the quote → capitalize it. “She said” comes after → comma before the quote.
✔ Fixed: “Don’t go outside,” she said.
7. pick up the blue ball
→ This is a command (telling someone to do something). Start with capital, end with period or exclamation. Let’s use period unless it’s urgent — but since no context, period is fine.
✔ Fixed: Pick up the blue ball.
8. i ate chocolate ice cream pepperoni pizza and hot fries at ryos party
→ “I” must always be capitalized. “Ryo’s” is a person’s name + possessive → capitalize and add apostrophe. List of foods → add commas between them. End with period.
✔ Fixed: I ate chocolate ice cream, pepperoni pizza, and hot fries at Ryo’s party.
9. who told you this
→ This is a question → start with capital, end with question mark.
✔ Fixed: Who told you this?
10. no one can beat me at chess said supriya
→ Someone is speaking → use quotation marks. “No” starts the quote → capitalize. “Supriya” is a name → capitalize. Comma before the speaker tag.
✔ Fixed: “No one can beat me at chess,” said Supriya.
