Capitalization means using uppercase letters at the beginning of sentences, for proper nouns (like names and places), and for the word "I." Punctuation includes marks like periods (.), commas (,), question marks (?), and exclamation points (!) that help us organize our sentences and show different emotions. Mastering these skills will make your writing much easier to read and understand!
