Stop, Ask, or Exclaim! Ending Punctuation for Class 1 

This Class 1 worksheet introduces children to the three essential ending punctuation marks—periods (.), question marks (?), and exclamation marks (!). Students learn how each mark changes the meaning and tone of a sentence. Fun and simple examples help children identify whether a sentence is telling something, asking something, or showing strong feeling. 

With MCQs, True/False checks, fill-in-the-blanks, sentence rewriting, and a long passage activity, learners get step-by-step practice that builds confidence in choosing the right ending punctuation every time. 

Why Ending Punctuation Matters?

 Children benefit greatly from mastering ending punctuation because it helps them: 
1. Read sentences with the right expression. 
2. Understand whether a sentence is a statement, question, or exclamation. 
3. Write clear, meaningful, complete sentences. 
4. Build strong grammar habits for future writing.
