Instructions

Read the instructions for each section carefully and complete the exercises. Good luck, grammar star!

Part 1: Proper Noun Power!

A common noun is a general person, place, or thing (like boy, school, holiday). A proper noun is a specific name for a person, place, or thing and must always be capitalized (like Alex, Lincoln Elementary, Christmas).

Rewrite each sentence below, making sure to capitalize all the proper nouns.

1. my friend javier lives in canada.

____________________________________________________________________



2. we are going to see the new movie on saturday.

____________________________________________________________________



3. i think my favorite month is august.

____________________________________________________________________



4. mrs. davis has a cat named whiskers.

____________________________________________________________________

Part 2: Action Verbs in Motion!

An action verb is a word that shows what someone or something is doing.

Read each sentence and circle the action verb.

1. The rabbit hops through the garden.
2. My dad cooks delicious spaghetti.
3. We swim in the cool lake.
4. The artist paints a beautiful picture.
5. I write stories in my notebook.

Part 3: Amazing Adjectives!

An adjective is a describing word. It tells us more about a noun (a person, place, or thing), like its color, size, or how it feels.

Underline the adjective in each sentence.

1. The fluffy clouds drifted across the sky.
2. He wore a bright, yellow raincoat.
3. She told a funny joke.
4. The loud music played at the party.
5. I read a scary story before bed.

Part 4: Sentence Super Sleuth!

Every complete sentence needs two things: a capital letter at the beginning and an end mark (like a period . or a question mark ?) at the end.

Be a detective! Fix these sentences by adding a capital letter and the correct end mark.

1. the sun is very bright today

____________________________________________________________________



2. what time does the show start

____________________________________________________________________



3. my mom is the best cook

____________________________________________________________________



4. did you finish your homework
