Capitalizing sentences and proper nouns is a fundamental skill in English grammar. Every sentence begins with a capital letter, signaling a fresh start. Proper nouns, which are specific names of people, places, or things, also require capitalization. This helps distinguish them from common nouns and adds clarity to our writing.
For example, instead of writing 'the dog ran to the park', we write 'The dog ran to the park.' And instead of 'john went to paris', we write 'John went to Paris.' Mastering these rules helps you write clearly and correctly.
Match each term with its correct definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| 1. Capital Letter | A. A general name for a person, place, or thing |
| 2. Proper Noun | B. The first letter of a sentence or a specific name |
| 3. Common Noun | C. Using capital letters correctly |
| 4. Sentence | D. A group of words that makes a complete thought |
| 5. Capitalization | E. A specific name of a person, place, or thing |
Fill in the blanks with the correct words. Pay attention to capitalization!
