Step-by-step solution for: English Punctuation Worksheet-6 - skoolon.com
Let's solve the punctuation exercise step by step. The goal is to correctly punctuate each sentence, ensuring proper grammar, capitalization, and use of punctuation marks like periods, commas, quotation marks, question marks, and apostrophes.
---
---
1) hes sorry that he didnt make it for the frankfurt marathon in Germany
- Errors:
- "hes" → should be "he's" (contraction of "he is")
- "didnt" → should be "didn't" (contraction of "did not")
- "frankfurt" → should be capitalized as "Frankfurt" (proper noun)
- "Germany" is already correct
- Missing period at the end
✔ Corrected:
He's sorry that he didn't make it for the Frankfurt Marathon in Germany.
---
2) jeremy watch out for the tiger
- Errors:
- "jeremy" → should be capitalized: "Jeremy"
- "watch" → should be "Watch" (imperative sentence starting with a verb)
- Missing exclamation mark or comma for emphasis
- This is an imperative sentence, so it should end with an exclamation mark
✔ Corrected:
Jeremy, watch out for the tiger!
> Note: A comma after "Jeremy" is used because it's a direct address.

3) some banks are closed on saturday and sunday
- Errors:
- "some" → should be capitalized: "Some"

Some banks are closed on Saturday and Sunday.
---
4) mother baked cupcakes muffins biscuits and scones for tea
- Errors:
- "mother" → should be capitalized: "Mother"

Mother baked cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, and scones for tea.
> Note: Use Oxford comma before "and" in a list for clarity.

5) kate martin asked her teacher mr martin are we going on a field trip soon
- Errors:
- "kate martin" → should be "Kate Martin" (names)
- "mr martin" → should be "Mr. Martin" (title and name)
- "asked her teacher" → indicates indirect speech, but then a direct quote follows
- The question "are we going..." should be in quotation marks and end with a question mark
- Capitalization and punctuation missing

Kate Martin asked her teacher, Mr. Martin, "Are we going on a field trip soon?"
> Note: Commas separate the speaker from the quote. The question inside quotes ends with a question mark.

- "the russians" → should be "The Russians" (capitalized for nationality)

- Missing period
✔ Corrected:
The Russians stood attentively during the national anthem.

7) the children shouted hurray school has begun
- Errors:
- "the children" → should be "The children"
