Explanation:
We need to rewrite each sentence by adding either a capital letter at the start and a full stop (.) if it’s a statement, or a question mark (?) if it’s a question.
Let’s go one by one:
1.
have you been to the shops
→ This is a question (it asks something). So we capitalize the first letter and add a question mark.
✔ *Have you been to the shops?*
2.
my front door is blue
→ This is a statement (it tells something). Capitalize “My”, end with a full stop.
✔ *My front door is blue.*
3.
There is a cat in my garden
→ Already starts with a capital “T”, and it’s a statement. Just add a full stop.
✔ *There is a cat in my garden.*
4.
where is the key
→ Question. Capitalize “Where”, add question mark.
✔ *Where is the key?*
5.
when is it tea time
→ Question. Capitalize “When”, add question mark.
✔ *When is it tea time?*
6.
can you swim more that 50 metres
→ Question. Also, note: “that” should be “than” — but the task says *“adding the capital letter and a full stop or question mark as appropriate”*, so we focus only on punctuation and capitalization, not correcting spelling/grammar unless instructed. So we keep “that” as given (though in real writing it should be “than”).
✔ *Can you swim more that 50 metres?*
7.
football is my favourite game
→ Statement. Capitalize “Football”, add full stop.
✔ *Football is my favourite game.*
Double-check:
- All questions now start with capital + end with ?
- All statements start with capital + end with .
- No extra changes made beyond what was asked.
Final Answer:
Have you been to the shops?
My front door is blue.
There is a cat in my garden.
Where is the key?
When is it tea time?
Can you swim more that 50 metres?
Football is my favourite game.
