Like a list of words that starts the sentence.
2007-01-09 09:16:58 · update #1
Its called punctuation.
There are 4 types of sentences:
A statement (ending in a period '.' ) - The dog is black.
A statement tells you something.
A question (ending in a question-mark ? ) - Is the dog black?
A question asks you something.
A command (ending in an exclamation mark ! ) - Sit! or Pass the salt!
A command orders or strongly requests you to do something.
An exclamation (ending in an exclamation mark ! ) - What a nice day! or What a lovely painting! or Yuk! (for horrible food).
An exclamation tells you what someone thinks or feels about something. It's to convey the emotion or opinion of whoever says it, it's not a statement of fact that is definitely true and everyone would agree with.
Sometimes an exclamation mark is used on signs such as ...
Danger!
Falling rocks.
Its a strong statement of fact saying in effect 'There is danger' but with emotion demanding an exclamation mark for emphasis.
------------------------------------
Sometimes people use one form of sentence to do the job of another, such as ....
Can you pass the salt, please? which is a command, but in the style of a question with a question mark on the end.
---------------------
Its worth telling the child that not everything they read, especially on the internet, has been punctuated correctly, as people forget, can't be bothered to get it right or didn't know the rules in the first place. The child shouldn't copy other people's incorrect examples.

Inflection in your voice can be useful in teaching the difference between "asking" sentences and "telling" sentences. Your pitch (usually) rises at the end of a question and (usually) falls at the end of a statement. Either read the sentence to the student or have the student read the sentence out loud and listen for changes in inflection.

who, what, where, when and why use the 5 W's to teach the child when you use a question mark. If a sentence begins with one of those then it's a question. If not them it's just a statement.

Well I love English, so I'll help. When a sentence asks a question it has a question mark at the end of the sentence(?), or it begins with did, do, can, will, when, who, what, where, why, how, and so on. example: Did you go to the movies yesterday? Bye! Hope I helped.

Sure.
If the statement is one that requires an answer, then it is a question mark - mommy, can I go to the bathroom, can I have a snack, etc.
If the statement is one that requires no answer, then it could end in a period - I am tired. I am bored. I am sick.
I used this method to teach my daughter the difference.

First enable them to p.c.. the e book. Dyslexics normally get "toddler" books because of the fact they do no longer examine as speedy. undesirable thought they are clever and get board of those books. discover out if bright lights fixtures make interpreting harder. most of the time it does and reasons head aches. discover the e book they like on line. you could exchange the exhibit screen colore. that's a brilliant help some like pink returned floor some yellow or blue. That makes a huge distinction. Use a sparkling p.c.. of paper to bypass under or over the line they are on. teach phonix sounding out words. even have them make sense of the words. Like they could even see "As I stepped out in to the final suited solar from the barkness ov the action picture abode" now you realize barkness and precise is incorrect verify they do. this might help whilst they examine they are in a position to appreciate their recommendations is goofing off returned. do no longer under estimate photograph Novels.

Try using sentences that the kids can relate to. Such as, "May I have a cookie?" and a response like, "Yes, you may." Anything about playing, eating their favorite foods, and family get their attention.

Tell him the snake asks questions (?)
and statements are normally to the point
when he she grows up, they'll know something cool: snakes aren't afraid to ask questions and think, and believers are to the point and boring
