I saw a man dressed as a hamburger That is weird Did he have fries as well Grammar Toolkit All sentences end in either a full stop, exclamation mark or question mark.. ! ? full stop exclamation mark question mark

Grammar Toolkit A full stop ends a statement or command. It shows a long pause. The word after it must start with a capital letter. I like burgers Full stops are also used in: abbreviations (the short form of a word or title) numbers times and dates They are great. Mon. for Monday Vic. for Victoria etc. for etcetera $ % 9.15 am

Grammar Toolkit A full stop is not needed if the abbreviation has more than one capital letter or ends in the last letter of the full word. Do you know these abbreviations?

Yikes! Be quiet! Oh no! Grammar Toolkit An exclamation mark ends an exclamation, which is when the writer expresses a strong or sudden emotion. If the exclamation is part of speech, put the exclamation mark after the exclamation and a full stop at the end of the sentence. “Be quiet!” demanded Miss Tuttle.

Are you looking at me? What happens next? Where’s Fluffy gone? Grammar Toolkit A question mark ends a question that the writer expects an answer to. If the question is part of speech, put the question mark after the question and a full stop at the end of the sentence. “Where’s Fluffy gone?” asked my little sister.

what a disaster the bride tripped over her dress and fell in the wedding cake it was five levels high and coated in cream what would you do would you make a new cake or eat the squished one the bride was REALLY unhappy What a disaster! The bride tripped over her dress and fell in the wedding cake. It was five levels high and coated in cream. What would you do? Would you make a new cake or eat the squished one? The bride was REALLY unhappy! Grammar Toolkit Add full stops, question marks and exclamation marks to make this passage understandable. Don’t forget to start each sentence with a capital letter.

Grammar Toolkit Punctuation helps others to understand our writing. A full stop (.) ends a statement or command (e.g. It is finished.). It is also used in abbreviations (e.g. Feb. for February), numbers and dates (e.g pm, $0.99, ). Not all abbreviations need full stops. An exclamation mark (!) ends an exclamation (e.g. What rubbish!). A question mark (?) ends a question (e.g. Why are you late?).
