Explanation:
Let’s go sentence by sentence and figure out what punctuation fits best at the end.
1. “Are you going to the movies ___”
→ This is a question (it starts with “Are you…”), so we use a
question mark (?).
2. “We’ll never make it out alive ___”
→ This shows strong feeling (fear, urgency), and ends with “alive” — it’s not a question. So we use an
exclamation point (!).
3. “The grass was soggy from all the rain ___”
→ This is a simple statement, no strong emotion or question. Use a
period (.).
4. “Please set the table, dear ___”
→ This is a polite command (a request), but not shouted or super emotional. In everyday writing, we usually use a
period (.) for polite commands like this.
5. “Where are you going with that ladder ___”
→ Starts with “Where”, so it’s a question →
?
6. “That’s a fantastic idea ___”
→ Someone is excited about an idea — strong positive feeling →
!
7. “Is it over yet ___”
→ Starts with “Is”, so it’s a question →
?
8. “For dinner we ate chicken, broccoli, and mashed potatoes ___”
→ Just stating what happened — a calm fact →
