Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The task is to fix the capital letters and add either a full stop (.) or a question mark (?) at the end — depending on whether it’s a statement or a question.
---
1. have you been to the shops
- This is asking something → so it’s a
question.
- Start with capital “H” → “Have”
- End with a question mark → “?”
✔ Fixed:
Have you been to the shops?
---
2. my front door is blue
- This is telling us something → so it’s a
statement.
- Start with capital “M” → “My”
- End with a full stop → “.”
✔ Fixed:
My front door is blue.
---
3. there is a cat in our garden
- Telling us something →
statement
- Capital “T” → “There”
- Full stop at end → “.”
✔ Fixed:
There is a cat in our garden.
---
4. where is the key
- Asking where something is →
question
- Capital “W” → “Where”
- Question mark → “?”
✔ Fixed:
Where is the key?
---
5. when is it tea time
- Asking about time →
question
- Capital “W” → “When”
- Question mark → “?”
✔ Fixed:
When is it tea time?
---
6. can you swim more that 50 metres
⚠️ Wait — this says “that” but it should be “than”. Let’s fix that too, since it’s probably a typo.
- Asking if someone can do something →
question
- Capital “C” → “Can”
- Fix “that” → “than”
- Question mark → “?”
✔ Fixed:
Can you swim more than 50 metres?
*(Note: In British English, “metres” is correct. In American English, it’s “meters”, but we’ll keep “metres” as written.)*
---
7. football is my favourite game
- Telling us what someone likes →
statement
- Capital “F” → “Football”
- Full stop → “.”
✔ Fixed:
Football is my favourite game.
---
Now let’s write all the corrected sentences together:

Have you been to the shops?
My front door is blue.
