2. What is your name?	☐	☐
3. Where do you stay?	☐	☐
4. This flower is beautiful.	☐	☐

The table printed on page 87. You put a tick (✓) in one box in each row.

Answer

Tick the box under Sentence.

“My name is Sonam.” tells us something. It does not ask anything, and it ends with a full stop.

The rule the book gives on page 86: A sentence is a group of words that has a complete meaning. It begins with a capital letter and generally ends with a full stop. A sentence that asks something is a question, and it ends with a question mark.

Tip: Look at the last mark on the line before you tick. A full stop (.) means Sentence. A question mark (?) means Question.

Q2.

C. Tick (✓) the right box.
2. What is your name?

	Sentence	Question
1. My name is Sonam.	☐	☐
2. What is your name?	☐	☐
3. Where do you stay?	☐	☐
4. This flower is beautiful.	☐	☐
5. My shirt is blue in colour.	☐	☐

The table printed on page 87. You put a tick (✓) in one box in each row.

Answer

Tick the box under Question.

“What is your name?” asks something, and it ends with a question mark. The book itself gives this very line as an example of a question on page 86.

The little word at the front: Many questions begin with a question word — what, where, when, who, why, how. As soon as you hear one of those at the beginning, expect a question mark at the end.

Your own question: Where do you keep your books?

Q3.

C. Tick (✓) the right box.
3. Where do you stay?

	Sentence	Question
1. My name is Sonam.	☐	☐
2. What is your name?	☐	☐
3. Where do you stay?	☐	☐
4. This flower is beautiful.	☐	☐
5. My shirt is blue in colour.	☐	☐

The table printed on page 87. You put a tick (✓) in one box in each row.

Answer

Tick the box under Question.

It begins with the question word Where, it asks for information, and it ends with a question mark.

How a question is different: A telling sentence gives you an answer. A question waits for one. “Where do you stay?” waits for somebody to say “I stay in Sundarpur.”

Tip: When you read a question aloud, your voice usually goes up at the end. Try it with items 1 and 3 and hear the difference.

Q4.

C. Tick (✓) the right box.
4. This flower is beautiful.

	Sentence	Question
1. My name is Sonam.	☐	☐
2. What is your name?	☐	☐
3. Where do you stay?	☐	☐
4. This flower is beautiful.	☐	☐
5. My shirt is blue in colour.	☐	☐

The table printed on page 87. You put a tick (✓) in one box in each row.

Answer

Tick the box under Sentence.

It tells us about the flower. Nothing is being asked, and the line ends with a full stop.

Turn it round for practice: The same idea can be made into a question — “Is this flower beautiful?” Notice what changed: is jumped to the front, and the full stop became a question mark.

Q5.

C. Tick (✓) the right box.
5. My shirt is blue in colour.

	Sentence	Question
1. My name is Sonam.	☐	☐
2. What is your name?	☐	☐
3. Where do you stay?	☐	☐
4. This flower is beautiful.	☐	☐
5. My shirt is blue in colour.	☐	☐

The table printed on page 87. You put a tick (✓) in one box in each row.

Answer

Tick the box under Sentence.

It tells us the colour of the shirt and ends with a full stop.

Check yourself — the whole table filled in:

	Sentence	Question
1. My name is Sonam.	✓	☐
2. What is your name?	☐	✓
3. Where do you stay?	☐	✓
4. This flower is beautiful.	✓	☐
5. My shirt is blue in colour.	✓	☐

One thing to be careful about: A question is also a sentence — it too begins with a capital letter and has a complete meaning. In this exercise the word “Sentence” is used for a sentence that tells, and “Question” for one that asks.
