Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the capital letter mistakes.
Remember: We use capital letters for:
- The start of a sentence
- Names of people
- Days and months
- Place names
- Titles (like Dr., Mrs., etc.)
- The word “I”
---
Sentence 1:
*every friday, I go to soccer practice.*
→ “every” should be capitalized because it starts the sentence →
Every
→ “friday” is a day →
Friday
→ “I” is already correct
✔ Fixed:
Every Friday, I go to soccer practice.
---
Sentence 2:
*mum bought our new pet at the smart pet shop.*
→ “mum” is being used as a name here (like calling her “Mum”) →
Mum
→ “smart pet shop” — if it’s the actual name of the store, it should be capitalized →
Smart Pet Shop
✔ Fixed:
Mum bought our new pet at the Smart Pet Shop.
*(Note: If “smart pet shop” is just describing any pet shop, then only “Mum” needs fixing. But since it says “the smart pet shop,” it likely means a specific store named that.)*
---
Sentence 3:
*kathy went to england with her uncle joe.*
→ “kathy” is a person’s name →
Kathy
→ “england” is a country →
England
→ “joe” is a person’s name →
Joe
→ “uncle” is not capitalized unless it’s part of the name (like “Uncle Joe”) → so we write
Uncle Joe
✔ Fixed:
Kathy went to England with her Uncle Joe.
---
Sentence 4:
*dr. tom gave me a lollipop because i didn’t cry.*
→ “dr.” is a title →
Dr.
→ “tom” is a person’s name →
Tom
→ “i” must always be capitalized →
I
✔ Fixed:
Dr. Tom gave me a lollipop because I didn’t cry.
---
Sentence 5:
*the principal of the school is called mrs. jones.*
→ “the” starts the sentence →
The
→ “mrs.” is a title →
Mrs.
→ “jones” is a last name →
Jones
✔ Fixed:
The principal of the school is called Mrs. Jones.
---
Final Answer:
1. Every Friday, I go to soccer practice.
2. Mum bought our new pet at the Smart Pet Shop.
3. Kathy went to England with her Uncle Joe.
4. Dr. Tom gave me a lollipop because I didn’t cry.
5. The principal of the school is called Mrs. Jones.
