Let's solve this step-by-step. The task is to
underline the words that need capital letters in each sentence. Capital letters are used for:
- The first word of a sentence
- Names of people (proper nouns)
- Days of the week, months, and holidays
- Titles when they are part of a name
- The pronoun "I"
- First word after a quotation mark if it starts a new sentence
Now, let’s go through each sentence:
---
1. tomorrow is going to be sunny. remember to wear a jacket.
- "tomorrow" → should be capitalized because it's the start of the sentence.
- "remember" → should be capitalized because it's the start of a new sentence.
✔ Underline: *tomorrow*, *remember*
---
2. her house was so big. she had ten bedrooms and five bathrooms.
- "her" → no capital needed; not the start of a sentence.
- "she" → should be capitalized because it starts a new sentence.
✔ Underline: *she*
---
3. their soccer team is the best in the city. they win all the time.
- "their" → not capitalized (start of sentence? No, but it's not a proper noun).
- "they" → starts a new sentence → must be capitalized.
✔ Underline: *they*
---
4. jack's brother is really good at tennis. he plays on Saturdays and never loses.
- "jack's" → "Jack" is a person's name → must be capitalized.
- "he" → starts a new sentence → must be capitalized.
- "Saturdays" → days of the week → must be capitalized.
✔ Underline: *jack's*, *he*, *Saturdays*
(Note: "jack's" → should be
Jack's)
---
5. "clean your room!" his father shouted. he was angry at all the mess.
- "clean" → inside quotation marks and starts a sentence → should be capitalized.
- "his" → not capitalized (not start of sentence).
- "he" → starts a new sentence → must be capitalized.
✔ Underline: *clean*, *he*
---
6. amy's teacher was very kind. she gave out candy to the students on Fridays.
- "amy's" → "Amy" is a person's name → must be capitalized.
- "she" → starts a new sentence → must be capitalized.
- "Fridays" → day of the week → must be capitalized.
✔ Underline: *amy's*, *she*, *Fridays*
---
✔ Final Answer (Words to underline):

3.
