Question

Punctuate the following sentences:
the bird replied i am going to extinguish the fire
hows that said nathu

Hint:

For spelling completion, always try inserting vowels first, as many English words miss a vowel.
Alphabetical order follows dictionary comparison: compare letters one by one.
In punctuation, focus on capitalization, quotation marks, apostrophes, and proper ending marks.
Word formation tasks usually test vocabulary—use only given letters.
Related words need a logical or semantic connection to the given word.
In word-chains, keep track of the last letter carefully to continue the sequence.

Answer 1

Sentence (i): Every sentence begins with a capital letter. After “replied” we add a comma, then enclose the spoken words in quotation marks. The phrase “I am” is contracted to “I’m,” and we end with a full stop inside the quotation marks.
Sentence (ii): The question “How’s that?” is in quotes and must end with a question mark. We capitalize “How’s” at the start. After the quotation, the reporting clause is written as “said Nathu,” with proper capitalization for the name.
