Hi there! Let's learn how to make our writing clear and easy to read.
Every sentence needs a capital letter at the start. It shows the reader where the idea begins.
Sentences also need a mark at the end. A period stops a telling sentence. A question mark asks something.
We also capitalize names of people and places. These are called proper nouns. They are special names.
✏️ Worked example
Edit this draft to fix the grammar mistakes: "the dog ran to texas"
- Look at the first word 'the'. It starts the sentence, so it needs a capital T.
- Look at the word 'texas'. It is the name of a state, so it needs a capital T.
- Look at the end of the sentence. It needs a period to show the idea is done.
- Write the new sentence: 'The dog ran to Texas.'
