Let's solve each sentence by correcting the
capitalization and adding the correct
end punctuation marks.
---
1. my cat tom likes winters
-
Capitalization:
- First word of the sentence → "My" (capitalize "m")
- Proper noun: "Tom" (name of the cat) → capitalize
- "Winters" is not a proper noun here; it's a general season, so lowercase → "winters"
-
Punctuation: This is a declarative sentence → ends with a period.
✔ Corrected sentence:
My cat Tom likes winters.
---
2. she and i love to skate
-
Capitalization:
- First word → "She" (capitalize "s")
- "I" is always capitalized in English.
-
Punctuation: Declarative sentence → period.
✔ Corrected sentence:
She and I love to skate.

3. do you want hot cocoa
-
Capitalization:
- First word → "Do" (capitalize "d")
- "Cocoa" is a common noun, no capital needed.
-
Punctuation: This is a question → ends with a question mark.
✔ Corrected sentence:
Do you want hot cocoa?

4. where is your sweater
-
Capitalization:
- First word → "Where" (capitalize "w")
-
Punctuation: Question → question mark.
✔ Corrected sentence:

-
Capitalization:
