Questions and Statements — Important Questions

Capital

Step 1: Every sentence — whether it is a question or a statement — must begin with a capital letter. Step 2: A capital letter is the big form of a letter, like A, B, C, W, I. Step 3: For example, 'What is your name?' begins with a capital W. Step 4: 'I live in Gandhi Nagar.' begins with a capital I. Step 5: So, all sentences begin with a Capital letter.

Question mark (?)

Step 1: Read the sentence — 'Have you ever seen snow?' Step 2: Ask yourself: Is this sentence asking something or telling something? Step 3: The word 'Have' at the beginning shows someone is asking a question. Step 4: Because it is a question, it needs a question mark (?) at the end. Step 5: A full stop is only for statements, not questions.

Full stop (.)

Step 1: Read the sentence — 'The cranes come here from Siberia.' Step 2: Ask yourself: Is this sentence asking something or telling something? Step 3: This sentence is telling us where the cranes come from. Step 4: It is a statement, so it needs a full stop (.) at the end. Step 5: A question mark is only used when a sentence is asking something.

Where

Step 1: Questions usually begin with special asking words. Step 2: Words like 'Where', 'What', 'When', 'Who', 'How', 'Can', 'Will', 'Have' are often used to begin a question. Step 3: 'Where do you live?' begins with 'Where' — it is a question. Step 4: 'The', 'In', and 'My' are not asking words, so sentences starting with them are usually statements. Step 5: So, 'Where' is the correct answer.
