Answer guide · AC9E1LA10

  1. Mia has a blue bag.
  2. A question mark: ‘Can you help me?’ asks a question.
  3. Stop! An exclamation mark can show the urgent warning.
  4. I played with Tom. Tom is a person's name, so it starts with a capital letter.

If help is needed: Not every excited voice needs an exclamation mark. Choose punctuation to match the written message and capitalise people's names wherever they appear.
