Quick Study Guide: Grade 2 Language Conventions

• Capitalization: Remember to capitalize the first word of every sentence, all proper nouns (names of specific people, places, and things like 'Sarah', 'London', 'Monday'), and the pronoun 'I'.
• Punctuation at the End of Sentences:
  • Use a period (.) for statements (telling sentences). Example: The cat sat on the mat.
  • Use a question mark (?) for questions (asking sentences). Example: Are you going to the park?
  • Use an exclamation point (!) for sentences that show strong feeling or excitement. Example: What a beautiful day!
• Commas: Use a comma (,) to separate items in a list of three or more things. Example: I need apples, bananas, and oranges.
• Nouns: Words that name a person, place, animal, or thing.
• Verbs: Words that show action or a state of being.
• Adjectives: Words that describe nouns (tell us more about them).
• Contractions: Shortened words formed by combining two words and using an apostrophe (') to show where letters are missing. Examples: can't (can not), I'm (I am), it's (it is).
