For the pronoun ‘I’

For proper nouns – names of actual or specific people,

places, objects, films or book titles.

Full Stop Full stops are needed to split up sentences so that

we know where to pause.

They are used when we have finished saying

one thing and want to say something else.

Full Stop We place full stops at the end of statements i.e. a

sentence which tells you something.

For example:

Lara visited the zoo on Saturday.

Nothing is being asked and there is no strong

emotion so we use a full stop to show that the

sentence is complete.

Can you think of a sentence which would end with a

full stop?

Can you think of a sentence ending with a question

mark?
