Full Stop (.)
NCERT anchor
English (Mridang) — Sounds Interesting / Make Our World. Statement sentences in Mridang end with a full stop — practice reading with a stopping voice.
What you'll learn
- A full stop (.) ends a statement — a sentence that tells something.
- Every statement starts with a capital and ends with a full stop.
- Questions and shouts use ? or !, not a full stop.
Key concepts
Verbal: A full stop (.) ends a statement — a sentence that tells something, not asks.
Symbolic: Statement → . Question → ? Command/shout → !
Level 1 — Statements need a full stop
- I like mangoes**.**
- The sun is hot**.**
Level 1 — Not a full stop
- Where is my bag**?** (question)
- Stop**!** (command / shout)
Level 2 — Run-on mistake
Wrong: I play I sleep. → Two sentences: I play**.** I sleep**.**
Level 2 — Read aloud
If your voice goes down at the end, it is often a statement → .
Worked example
Add the right mark: 'We go to school by bus'
Step 1 — Does it ask something? No — it tells.
Step 2 — Statement → full stop
Step 3 — Capital W at start
Answer: We go to school by bus**.**
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| ? on a statement | Not asking | Telling → . |
| No mark at end | Incomplete | Always end sentences |

Quick check
- Fix: 'my name is anita'
