Name ________________ Grade 6 Section___________________ Punctuation Worksheet

• Read the following piece of text in which all the full stops have been removed. Add the punctuation and capital
letters.
It was a bright sunny day when the children left the house for the mountain walk they each had a rucksack with
the items they needed for the day these consisted of ham sandwiches with thick slices of bread, chocolate biscuits
and bottled water they also each had a light anorak in case of rain Samuel, as he was the oldest, carried the first
aid kit it had bandages and antiseptic lotion in it it made his rucksack heavier, but he was bigger than the others
so he didn’t notice the extra weight

2- Use capital letters for proper nouns.

Proper names are always capitalized. A proper name is a name or a title that refers to an individual person, an
individual place, an individual institution or an individual event. The pronoun I should also always be capitalized.

• Add capital letters where needed.

1. The dog ran up to anne.

2. What day is it today? It’s sunday.

3. We went to york yesterday.

4. He wanted to watch eastenders, so i changed the channel.

5. Last year we went to france for our holidays.

6. Easter is sometimes in march, but this year it is in april.

7. Have you seen the film born free? It’s about lions in africa.

8. Alex wanted to fly planes, so he joined the r.a.f.

9. When i moved to london, i had to pay more rent.

10. After speaking to jim, i went home.


3- Use question marks effectively.

When a sentence takes the form of a question, then a question mark must be used instead of a full stop to
show it is a question. E.G: Who is that at the door?

Decide whether a full stop or a question mark should be added to the end of these sentences:

1. What is that 2. Sam started to get angry 3. The sun rose in the sky

4. I’d never been before 5. Is the bus going to be late 6. What time is it

7. The phone rang 8. How would you feel 9. She had been left behind

10. Can I have toast for breakfast

4- Use exclamation marks appropriately.


An exclamation mark can be used when someone is excited or shouting or if they are saying something that's strange
or surprising. They should not be used too much or they will lose their impact.

Decide whether an exclamation or a full stop should be added to the end of these sentences:

1. That is a dog

2. The building is collapsing

3. Put that down

4. Oh no

5. The bus stop is over there

6. The cat is sleeping

7. Good heavens

8. This chocolate tastes disgusting

9. Leave him alone

10. I usually have toast for breakfast
