Imagine running a race with no finish line β€” you would keep running until you ran out of breath!
Sentences need a finish line too, and that tiny dot at the end is called a full stop.
How do we know which sentences need a full stop? Let's meet the sentence type that uses them most.

Telling Sentences

A telling sentence gives information by sharing a fact, an idea, or telling what someone is doing.
Every complete telling sentence starts with a capital letter and finishes with a full stop.
What happens if we forget that little dot at the end?

Adding the Finish Line

Look at this group of words: The sun is warm in the sky
It shares a complete idea, so we add a full stop right after the word sky to show the thought is finished.
