Punctuation practice worksheet for Grade 5 students.

Let me work through each sentence and add the appropriate punctuation marks.

Sentence 1: "The boy's father sat near the window"
- This is a statement, so it needs a period at the end.
- Answer: The boy's father sat near the window.

Sentence 2: "Where are you going tomorrow"
- This starts with "Where," which makes it a question. It needs a question mark.
- Answer: Where are you going tomorrow?

Sentence 3: "Did you know why he was crying"
- This starts with "Did," which makes it a question. It needs a question mark.

Sentence 4: "It' a good idea let us meet next week"
- There should be an apostrophe after "It" to make "It's" (short for "It is")
- This has two parts: "It's a good idea" and "let us meet next week"
- We need a comma or period between these two complete thoughts

Sentence 5: "We will be reaching tomorrow at least that's what my mom is saying"
