Unscramble the Sentence

Sometimes words in a sentence get mixed up. To unscramble them, you put them in the right ORDER so the sentence makes sense. The capital letter shows you which word goes FIRST, and the full stop tells you which word goes LAST.

Worked examples

Unscramble: 'ran / dog / The / .'

'The' has a capital letter — it goes first. 'ran' tells what the dog did — it goes last (before the full stop). Answer: 'The dog ran.'

Answer: The dog ran.

Unscramble: 'plays / Sam / soccer / .'

'Sam' is the name and has a capital letter — first. Then 'plays' (what Sam does), then 'soccer' (what he plays).

Answer: Sam plays soccer.

Tips

  • The CAPITAL letter goes at the start.
  • The FULL STOP goes at the end.
  • Read your answer out loud — does it make sense?
