    I made it working for myself, and just for clarification or if other people have the same problem this is what did the trick for me:

    re.match('^[A-Z][^?!.]*[?.!]$', sentence) is not None
    

    Explanation: Where ^[A-Z] looks for a Capital at start

    '[^?!.]*' means everything in between start and end is ok except things containing ? or ! or .

    [?.!]$ must end with ? or ! or .

    Use the below regex.

    ^[A-Z][\w\s]+[?.!]$

    import re
    s = ['This sentence is correct.','this sentence does not start with capital','This sentence is not correct']
    
    # What I tried so for is:
    for i in s:
        print(re.match('^[A-Z][\w\s]+[?.!]$', i) is not None)
    

    Output:

    True
    False
    False

    Your regex checks for a single digit in the range [A-Z]. You should change to something like:

    ^[A-Z].*[?.!]$
    

    Change the .* to whatever you want to match between the capital letter and the punctuation at the end of the string.
