Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the mistakes. The main things we need to watch for are:
- Capitalizing the first word of every sentence.
- Capitalizing names of people, places, days, months, holidays, and proper nouns (like “California,” “Disneyland,” “Saturday”).
- Adding commas where needed (like in a list of names).
- Making sure sentences end with correct punctuation (period or question mark).

1. we went fishing off the coast of california on sunday morning
→ Fix: Start with capital “W”, capitalize “California” and “Sunday”.
✔ Corrected:
We went fishing off the coast of California on Sunday morning.

2. i am so excited to see my family for the holidays
→ Fix: Capitalize “I” at the beginning, and “holidays” is fine as-is unless it’s a specific holiday name — but here it’s general, so no change needed there.
✔ Corrected:
I am so excited to see my family for the holidays.

3. jerry sam and stephen took a walk to lacy park
→ Fix: Capitalize all three names (“Jerry,” “Sam,” “Stephen”), add comma between names in a list, and capitalize “Lacy Park” since it’s a place name.
✔ Corrected:
Jerry, Sam, and Stephen took a walk to Lacy Park.
*(Note: Some style guides skip the comma before “and” — called Oxford comma — but in school worksheets, it’s usually expected. We’ll include it.)*

4. when are we going to disneyland
→ Fix: This is a question! So start with capital “W”, capitalize “Disneyland”, and end with a question mark.
✔ Corrected:
When are we going to Disneyland?

5. i live on lightview st corson city
→ Fix: Capitalize “I”, “Lightview St” (street name), and “Corson City” (city name). Also, “St” should be followed by a period if abbreviated, but sometimes in addresses it’s written without — let’s assume it’s short for “Street” and write it fully for clarity, or keep “St.” with period. Since original says “st”, we’ll make it “St.” and capitalize.
✔ Corrected:
I live on Lightview St., Corson City.
*(Alternatively, if they want full words: “Lightview Street, Corson City” — but since original used “st”, we’ll stick with “St.”)*

6. tara and stacey went to the mall on saturday
→ Fix: Capitalize both names (“Tara,” “Stacey”) and “Saturday”.
✔ Corrected:
Tara and Stacey went to the mall on Saturday.

3. Jerry, Sam, and Stephen took a walk to Lacy Park.
