HELP WITH WRITING 6 Read about Anthony’s favourite thing. Then write the
Punctuation text with the correct capital letters and punctuation.
4 a Notice how we use punctuation.
● We use a full stop ( . ) at the end of a sentence:
My favourite thing is my car.
● We use a question mark ( ? ) at the end of a question:
What’s my favourite thing?
● We use an exclamation mark ( ! ) at the end of
a surprising sentence: Its name is Rose!
● We use commas ( , ) for lists: It’s got an MP3 player,
games, videos, the internet, a camera …
● We use apostrophes ( ’ ) for contractions (’s = has, etc.):
He’s got two sisters.
● We also use apostrophes ( ’ ) for possessive ’s:
Topsy is my cousin’s cat. my favourite thing is my laptop i think its beautiful its very
