Sentences 1–4 do not make sense. We cannot understand them.

                    Read the following:

                           5.  The birds are flying in the sky.                   (gives information)

                           6.  What is your name?                                 (asks for information)

                           7.  Don’t make a noise.                                (expresses orders)


                           8.  What a lovely girl!                                (expresses strong feelings)

                           Sentences 5–8 make sense.

                           We can understand them because

                                  •  the words are in correct order.

                                  •  the punctuation is correct. [capital letters, full stops (.),
                                      a question mark (?) and an exclamation mark (!)].


                                  •  the sentences give us complete information.


                    Rewrite the following phrases and sentences in the correct order. Put a
                    full stop (.), a ques  on mark (?) or an exclama  on mark (!) where needed.


                           1.  kite he red a has
