Capital letters and full stops
Every sentence that we write needs to have a capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end. This helps to ensure that our writing makes sense. Proper nouns also need a capital letter, such as names of people and places.
Have a look at this paragraph below and re-write it with all the capital letters and full stops in the correct places.
