Let’s go through each sentence one by one and check if the punctuation mark at the end is correct.
---
1) Bring me that file. _______
This is a command — someone is telling another person to do something. Commands usually end with a period (.) unless they’re very strong or emotional, then they might use an exclamation mark (!). Here, it’s calm and normal, so
period is correct.
→ Write:
correct
---
2) Where do you come from. _______
This is a question — it starts with “Where” and asks for information. Questions must end with a
question mark (?), not a period (.). So this punctuation is wrong.
→ Write:
incorrect
---
3) Why do you go to market square? _______
Again, this is a question — starts with “Why”. It ends with a question mark (?), which is exactly what questions need. So this is right.
→ Write:
correct
---
4) She is a successful writer? _______
This is a statement — it’s telling us something about her. Statements should end with a
period (.), not a question mark (?). There’s no question being asked here. So this is wrong.
→ Write:
incorrect
---
5) How beautiful she is! _______
This is an exclamatory sentence — it shows strong feeling or admiration. These kinds of sentences end with an
exclamation mark (!), which is what’s used here. So this is correct.
→ Write:
correct
---
Final Answer:
1) correct
2) incorrect
3) correct
4) incorrect
5) correct
