To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each sentence and decide what kind of feeling or purpose it has. This tells us which punctuation mark to use at the end.
Here is the simple rule for each mark:
*
Period (.): Use this for normal statements or calm commands. The sentence is just sharing information.
*
Question Mark (?): Use this if the sentence asks something. Look for words like *who, what, where, when, why,* or *how*.
*
Exclamation Mark (!): Use this if the sentence shows strong excitement, surprise, or a loud command.
Let's go through them one by one:
1.
"I had a crazy day at school"
* This is a statement telling someone about your day. It isn't asking a question. While "crazy" is interesting, usually this is just a fact.
* *Choice:* Period (.)
2.
"When are we going to the museum"
* The word "When" at the start tells us this is asking for a time.
* *Choice:* Question Mark (?)
3.
"You need to complete your homework on time daily"
* This is a statement of fact or a rule. It is not shouting or asking a question.
* *Choice:* Period (.)
4.
"Please take out the trash when you get home"
* This is a polite request/command. Unless it is an emergency, polite requests usually end with a period.
* *Choice:* Period (.)
5.
"My favorite team won the game"
* This shares good news, but it is written as a simple statement.
* *Choice:* Period (.)
6.
"What did you want to eat for lunch"
* The word "What" at the start means it is asking for information.
* *Choice:* Question Mark (?)
7.
"It is so exciting to see you"
* The phrase "so exciting" shows strong emotion and happiness. This needs more energy than a period.
* *Choice:* Exclamation Mark (!)

* The word "Why" at the start means it is asking for a reason.
