To solve this task, we need to look at each sentence and fix the mistakes based on the directions provided.
The directions say:
1.
Begin each sentence with a capital letter. (The first letter of the first word needs to be capitalized).
2.
Add punctuation. (Usually a period "." at the end of a sentence).
Let's go through each sentence one by one:
1.
Original: `ben is going to the zoo`
*
Fix Capitalization: Change 'b' in "ben" to 'B'. -> "Ben"
*
Fix Punctuation: Add a period at the end. -> "."
*
Corrected: Ben is going to the zoo.
2.
Original: `ben wants to see the lion`
*
Fix Capitalization: Change 'b' in "ben" to 'B'. -> "Ben"
*
Fix Punctuation: Add a period at the end. -> "."
*
Corrected: Ben wants to see the lion.
3.
Original: `dad takes ben to see the lion`
*
Fix Capitalization: Change 'd' in "dad" to 'D'. -> "Dad". Also, names like "ben" usually get capitalized, so change 'b' to 'B'. -> "Ben"
*
Fix Punctuation: Add a period at the end. -> "."
*
Corrected: Dad takes Ben to see the lion.
4.
Original: `ben saw a monkey at the zoo`
*
Fix Capitalization: Change 'b' in "ben" to 'B'. -> "Ben"
*
Fix Punctuation: Add a period at the end. -> "."
*
Corrected: Ben saw a monkey at the zoo.
5.
Original: `ben saw a hippo at the zoo`
*
Fix Capitalization: Change 'b' in "ben" to 'B'. -> "Ben"
*
Fix Punctuation: Add a period at the end. -> "."
*
Corrected: Ben saw a hippo at the zoo.
Final Answer:
1. Ben is going to the zoo.
2. Ben wants to see the lion.
3. Dad takes Ben to see the lion.
4. Ben saw a monkey at the zoo.
