Notes on Sentences:

So far you have learned that a sentence must begin with a capital letter and end
with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark. In addition, a sentence must

make sense and, if you are doing formal writing, a full sentence must also have a
verb (a ‘doing’ word like ‘ran’ or ‘swim’).

Underline the full sentences below and put a circle around their verbs.

Harry ate his pasta hungrily. The wind in the tree.

I jogged to work this morning. Tasty snack in the kitchen.
The huge, black, cuddly cat. Happily, I found my lost diary.

A black horse with a red saddle. Eagerly, I ran to the pool.
Don’t go back to that place! Three blind mice.

Did you find five full sentences? Yes/ No
Did you find the verb in each full sentence? Yes/ No

Note: A sentence always has to end with a full stop, an
exclamation mark or a question mark.
