Sentences and Joining Ideas

Lachlan, Sienna and Tahnee are hiking in the mountains. Help them write clear sentences and connect their ideas. Read each question carefully. Use capital letters and full stops in your own sentences.

Spot complete sentences

A complete sentence expresses a whole idea. It usually has a subject and a verb, and begins with a capital letter.

1.Is this a complete sentence? “Sienna checked the trail map.”
  • Yes, it expresses a whole idea.
  • No, it is missing an action.
2.Is this a complete sentence? “Climbing over the rocky path.”
  • Yes, it expresses a whole idea.
  • No, it does not tell who is climbing.
3.Complete the sentence by adding a subject: “ carried the water bottle up the hill.”

Make sentences clear

Start each sentence with a capital letter and finish it with the correct punctuation.

4.Rewrite this as a correct sentence: “the hikers reached the lookout”
5.Fix the missing words to make a complete sentence: “After the rest, _____ continued along the track.”
6.Add the missing capital letter and punctuation: “we spotted a wedge-tailed eagle”
