Capitalization and Punctuation
Aligned to L.2.2 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark. Names, the word 'I,' and the first word of a sentence are capitalized.
Worked example
'we went to texas with maria.' should be 'We went to Texas with Maria.' — capital W, capital T (place), capital M (name).
Practice questions
- Fix: 'my friend sam is funny.'
- What punctuation ends a question?
- Which words always get a capital letter?

Mayúsculas y Puntuación
Las oraciones comienzan con letra mayúscula y terminan con un signo de puntuación. Los nombres propios, la palabra 'yo' (cuando va sola) y la primera palabra de una oración se escriben con mayúscula.
Ejemplo: 'fuimos a texas con maría.' debe escribirse 'Fuimos a Texas con María.' — mayúscula en F, mayúscula en T (lugar), mayúscula en M (nombre).
