Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the capitalization. Remember:
- The first word of a sentence must be capitalized.
- Names of people, places, books, movies, days of the week, and titles (like “Mrs”) must be capitalized.
---
Sentence 1:
Original: *tom and mary are the best of friends.*
→ “Tom” and “Mary” are names → capitalize them.
→ First word “tom” → should be “Tom”.
Corrected:
Tom and Mary are the best of friends.

Sentence 2:
Original: *they all read the harry potter book in 1 day.*
→ “They” is the first word → capitalize it.
→ “Harry Potter” is a book title → both words capitalized.
→ “day” is not a proper noun → leave lowercase.
Corrected:
They all read the Harry Potter book in 1 day.
---
Sentence 3:
Original: *my favorite movie is avengers.*
→ “My” is first word → capitalize.

Sentence 6:
Original: *i read percy jackson in 1 week.*
→ “I” is always capitalized.
→ “Percy Jackson” is a person’s name → both parts capitalized.

---
Sentence 7:
Original: *her teacher, mrs martin, is the best.*
→ “Her” is first word → capitalize.
