Yes, I've done that too. Until I realised it I was completely baffled. Maybe it doesn't help that Duolingo is indifferent to punctuation; there is no wrong answer if the full-stop is missing.

I found that, because of the lack of a strict rule of putting the correct punctuation in, on Duolingo and the somewhat lack of use of punctuation among my generation on sites like Facebook, I have forgot to use of putting the proper punctuation at the end of a sentence. It is sad! (I have placed the proper punctuation at the end in this post, but most of the time I do not.)

I am totally baffled with part 5.3 of the course. I have tried simply copying the example given for the other questions, I have tried "tio estas lia monulo" for example, trying not to be too complicated, but get no response save an instruction to use the example given. What am I doing wrong?

Do you capitalize the first letter of the sentence and write a dot at the end?

Monulo is a money person. It doesn't really make sense. Are you sure the content of the answer is correct (plus punctuation)?

Indeed. The word in that sentence is 'monujo'
