Capitalization & Punctuatio

Capitalization is the use of uppercase letters at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns.

We use a period at the end of a statement or a command.

We use a question mark (?) to ask a question.

We use an exclamation mark (!) to show excitement.

Proper nouns like names of people, places, and months need a capital letter.

A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing, and it starts with a capital letter.

A common noun is a general name for a person, place, or thing and does not start with a capital letter.

We start a sentence with a capital letter.

Punctuation helps to clarify the meaning of sentences and indicates pauses.

We use a question mark (?) at the end of a question.
