Let's solve the capitalization exercise step by step. The goal is to rewrite each sentence with the correct capital letters, following standard English capitalization rules:

Capitalization Rules to Remember:

1. First word of a sentence – Always capitalize.
2. Proper nouns – Names of people, places, specific things (e.g., names of cities, countries, planets, books).
3. Days of the week and months – Always capitalized.
4. Titles and names of people – Capitalize titles when they are used before a name (e.g., Mrs. Smith).
5. Names of books or movies – Capitalize the first letter of each major word.
