THE CURIOSI · EXPLORE & TRY
Give readers clear sentence signals
Explore the model, then test your understanding. Select each numbered stop to discover its role.
1Begin and name clearly
Capitalize the first word, proper names such as Monday, and the pronoun I.
2End a statement
A full stop ends an ordinary statement. Commas can separate items in a list.
3End a direct question
A direct question ends with a question mark. Apostrophes can mark missing letters: did not → didn’t.
Say each example aloud. Explain which job each highlighted word or phrase does.
Quick check · 3 questions
Choose one answer for each question, then check. Practice results stay on this page and do not change course completion.
