By the end of Class 2 a child is expected to start a sentence with a capital and finish it with a full stop without being reminded, and to capitalise names. These are the marks most easily lost in Class 3 and the easiest to secure now.

  • Starts every sentence with a capital letter
  • Ends a statement with a full stop and a question with a question mark
  • Capitalises people's names, places and the word I

Here’s one done for you

my name is anita → My name is Anita. Three changes: the first letter of the sentence, the name Anita because it is a person, and a full stop at the end. The word 'name' does not get a capital - only names of particular people, places and days do.

  2. 2)we went to delhi
  3. 3)the shop is closed on sunday

Write the answer · Guided

Here’s one done for you

Where is my bag → Where is my bag? A sentence that asks something takes a question mark. A quick test for a child: if you would raise your voice at the end when saying it aloud, it is usually a question.

  1. 1)Where is my bag
  2. 2)The sun is very hot today
  3. 3)Are you coming with us
  4. 4)She lives near the temple
  5. 5)What is your name

Each sentence has two mistakes. Write it out correctly.

Write the answer · Practice

Here’s one done for you

i live in chennai → I live in Chennai. The two mistakes are the small i - the word I is always a capital, wherever it appears - and chennai, which is the name of a place. The full stop was missing too, so read the whole line before deciding you have finished.

  1. 1)i live in chennai
  2. 2)we visited the zoo on monday
  3. 3)amma and i went to the market
  4. 4)the taj mahal is in agra
  5. 5)my sister studies in delhi

While your child works

  • The word I being always capital is the rule children forget most. It is worth saying aloud once and then only pointing at it thereafter.
  • If your child capitalises random words in the middle, they are copying the shape of print rather than applying a rule. Go back to the first exercise for a week.
  • Read the finished sentence aloud together. Most missing full stops are heard before they are seen.

Questions parents ask

About this worksheet

Are the answers included?

Yes, under every exercise on this page, and on a separate sheet in the printable version so your child works first and checks after.

My child knows the rule but forgets to use it. What now?

That is normal in Class 2 and it is a habit rather than a knowledge problem. Stop correcting mid-sentence and instead ask them to check their own line at the end - self-correction builds the habit far faster than being told.

Does this Class 2 English worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 34 questions across 3 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 15 minutes for 34 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
