Sentence of The Day

Date: 1st May 2020 @ 9:02am

Good morning year 6! Can you believe it is Friday already? Today’s sentence of the day is a short piece of dialogue to show characterisation and how to organise speech.

“I really do’nt like the look of this place Tom,” whispered Ahmet.   That strange symbol reminds of something I’ve seen before and it is giving me a bad feeling about this place.”

“Oh stop being a scaredy-cat as usual Ahmet; honestly we will be in and out as quick as a flash, once we get proof that we went in all of the rooms. Come on!” insisted Tom.

Can you find the two punctuation errors. One is a piece of punctuation that is in the wrong place and the other is a missing piece of speech punctuation.

I would also like you to look at the word ‘bad’ and see if you can use an improved word which still fits in with the sentence.

EXTRA! EXTRA!
