Capitalization means writing the first letter of certain words with a big letter (A, B, Cā¦) instead of a small letter (a, b, cā¦). We use capital letters to show that some words are important.
Always start names of people and animals with a capital letter, even if they are in the middle of a sentence.
When writing the name of a person, the first letter of the first and last name should always be capitalized.
Think of people's names as special words. They always begin with capital letters.
If an animal has a name, capitalize it just like a person's name. If you are only talking about the animal in general, do not use a capital letter.
Capitalize the animal's name, but not the type of animal. For example: This is my cat, Bella.
Capital letters make sentences clear and show respect for people and animals by writing their names correctly.
When checking your writing, look for people's and animals' names. Make sure the first letter of each name is capitalized.
