Use a capital letter at the start of every sentence, for names and for the word I, Use a full stop at the end of a sentence that tells something
Video lesson: Capital letters and full stopsComing soon
A classroom. Look for the capital letters and full stops in this section.

Every sentence starts with a capital letter. A capital letter is the big version of a letter, such as T or S.

A sentence that tells something ends with a full stop (.).

Names also start with a capital letter: Sam, Ruby, Leo. The word I is always a capital letter.

Here is a sentence with no capital letter and no full stop: the owl is asleep. Now it is right: The owl is asleep.

Key ideas

  • Every sentence starts with a capital letter.
  • A sentence that tells something ends with a full stop.
  • Names start with a capital letter: Sam, Ruby, Leo.

Year 2
Use a full stop, a question mark or an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence, Choose the end mark from the job the sentence does
Video lesson: Choosing the end markComing soon
A park. Look for the end marks in this section.

Commas in a list

Year 2

Apostrophes for short forms

Year 2
Use an apostrophe to show where letters are left out, as in don't and it's, Write the short form of two words
Video lesson: Apostrophes for short formsComing soon
A shop. Look for the short forms and apostrophes in this section.

When we join two words into a short form, some letters are left out. An apostrophe (') shows where the letters were.

Two words become one: I am becomes I'm. The a is left out.

Let us becomes let's. The u is left out, and the apostrophe takes its place.

Other short forms work the same way. Find the letters that are missing, and put the apostrophe in their place.

Key ideas

  • An apostrophe shows where letters are left out.
  • I'm is short for I am.
  • Let's is short for let us.
  • Write the apostrophe in the place of the missing letter.
Worked example 7.4.1

An apostrophe and s for the owner

Year 2
Use an apostrophe and s to show who owns one thing, as in Sam's hat, Use the apostrophe for one owner, not for more than one thing
Video lesson: An apostrophe and s for the ownerComing soon
A bedroom. Look for the things that belong to someone in this section.

An apostrophe can also show that one thing belongs to someone. Add 's after the owner.

Leo's hat is the hat that belongs to Leo. The girl's bag is the bag that belongs to one girl.

Use 's only for one owner. Words that just mean more than one, such as cats, do not need an apostrophe.

Key ideas

  • Add 's to the owner: Leo's hat.
  • The apostrophe shows who owns the thing.
  • The girl's bag is the bag of one girl.
  • Do not add an apostrophe to cats or dogs when they just mean more than one.
Worked example 7.5.1

    Jack
  2. Add the apostrophe and s. Add 's after the owner's name.
    Jack's
  3. Read the whole sentence. The rest of the sentence stays the same.
    Jack's teddy is on the peg.

  2. Look at the choices. The owner needs an apostrophe and s, and the thing has no apostrophe.

    Ruby's mug
  4. Write the answer.
    Ruby's mug

Watch out. Add 's to the owner, not to the thing.

Watch out

Checking punctuation and naming the marks

Year 2
Name the apostrophe and the comma, Check a sentence for capital letters, end marks, commas and apostrophes
Video lesson: Checking punctuation and naming the marksComing soon
A school. Look for the marks that help a reader in this section.

Before you finish a sentence, check it. Read it aloud and look at each mark:

The capital letter starts the sentence, and names start with one too.

The full stop, question mark or exclamation mark ends it.

The comma (,) goes between the items in a list.

The apostrophe (') shows a missing letter, as in don't, or the owner of one thing, as in Ben's bag.

Key ideas

  • Check the capital letter at the start.
  • Check the end mark.
  • Check the commas in a list.
  • Check the apostrophes in short forms and owners.
Worked example 7.6.1
Add the correct end mark: What a big cake

Method. Decide what the sentence does, then choose its end mark.

  1. Read the sentence. Listen to the job the sentence does.
    What a big cake
  2. Find the job. It shows a strong feeling.
    a exclamation
  3. Choose the end mark. It shows a strong feeling, so it ends with an exclamation mark.
    exclamation mark: !
  4. Write the answer.
    What a big cake!

Check. Read it aloud with the end mark: What a big cake! ✓

Watch out. The job of the sentence decides the end mark. A question can show a feeling, but it still ends with ?.

Worked example 7.6.2
Find and fix the mistakes: mia likes cats dogs and rabbits.

Method. Check the name, the list and the end of the sentence.

  1. Look at the first word. Mia is a name, so it needs a capital letter.
    mia becomes Mia
  2. Look at the list. Put commas between cats, dogs and rabbits, and and before rabbits.
    cats, dogs and rabbits
  3. Look at the end. This sentence tells something, so it ends with a full stop.
    add a full stop
  4. Write the answer.
    Mia likes cats, dogs and rabbits.

Check. Read it aloud: Mia likes cats, dogs and rabbits. ✓

Watch out. Check the capital, the commas and the full stop every time.

Worked example 7.6.3
Find and fix the mistakes: Its a windy day.

Method. Check the short form and the first letter.

  1. Look at Its. It is is short for it is, so it needs an apostrophe.
    Its = It's
  2. Look at the first word. A sentence starts with a capital letter.
    It's
  3. Write the answer.
    It's a windy day.

Check. It's means it is: It's a windy day. ✓

Watch out. Its without the apostrophe is a different word. Write It's for it is.

Watch out

Watch out: a question mark and an exclamation mark both end a sentence, but they do different jobs. Check what the sentence does before you choose.

Exam tip

Grown-up tip. Read the sentence together, then ask: where does it start? Where does it stop? Can you hear a pause in a list? Where did a letter go missing?
