We stop at the end of a sentence when we speak. Sometimes while we are speaking, we even pause a while. We use our voices differently when we ask a question or exclaim at something. When we write, we use full stops, commas, question marks and exclamation marks – and this makes
what we say, easier to understand.
Let’s start with the capital letters
Briefly jot down where we would use capital letters.
Circle all the places in the following paragraph where capital letters have not been used:
Let’s quickly make notes so that we do not forget what we have discovered.
We use
capital letters for the following:
specific names of people and places, of towns and countries, of buildings, of books – in fact, anything that is a proper noun (do you still remember what you learnt about proper nouns last year?). Write down a few examples and do the same for each of the following:
names of the days of the week, months of the year and festivals
the
first word of a new sentence:
the word
“i”
Can you think of three more examples? Write them down.
STOP! CHECK! REWRITE CORRECTLY!

sir warthog, jack jackal and leo leopard refused to guard the dam on monday and tuesday.
