Answer 1

Edit: To also print last two words of each sentence

import re
string1 = 'I am going to the shop. I would like some cheese! I am ready to go back home!'
split_list = re.split('[?.!]', string1)
for txt in split_list:
    print(txt.split()[:2],txt.split()[-2:] ) 

output

['I', 'am'] ['the', 'shop']
['I', 'would'] ['some', 'cheese']
['I', 'am'] ['back', 'home']
[] []
