About this worksheet
A capital letter goes at the start of a sentence, at the start of a name, on days and months, and on the word I.
Each question names the rule it is testing, then shows three versions of one sentence. One is right, one is missing a capital, and one puts capitals on every word.
A worked example
A person's name. (a) Tom has a ball. (b) tom has a ball. (c) Tom Has A Ball.
- The sentence starts with a name, Tom, so it needs a capital T.
- (b) starts with a small t, so it is wrong.
- (c) puts capitals on every word, but has, a and ball are not names.
- (a) has a capital T and no extra capitals. Circle (a).
Answer: (a) Tom has a ball.
The common mistake
What it looks like: Picking the sentence with the most capitals, like Tom Has A Ball.
Why it happens: Children learn that capitals matter and guess that more is better.
How to fix it: Go word by word and ask why each capital is there: the start, a name, a day or month, or I. A capital with no reason is a mistake.
