To solve this worksheet, we need to apply the basic rules of capitalization. Here is the step-by-step thinking for each sentence:
1.
Rule: The first letter of a sentence must always be capitalized. Proper nouns (specific names of people, places, or things) must also be capitalized.
* "i" becomes "I" (start of sentence and the pronoun I).
* "new york" becomes "New York" (specific city/state name).
* Result:
I live in New York.
2.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence and proper nouns (names of people).
* "alice" becomes "Alice" (start of sentence and person's name).
* Result:
Alice goes to her dad's house on weekends.
3.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence, the pronoun "I", and titles of books.
* "i" becomes "I".
* "'charlotte's web'" becomes "'Charlotte's Web'" (title of a book).
* Result:
I have read 'Charlotte's Web' twice.
4.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence, proper nouns (names), and days of the week.
* "gary" becomes "Gary" (start of sentence and person's name).
* "tuesday" becomes "Tuesday" (day of the week).
* Result:
Gary plays baseball every Tuesday.
5.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence, proper nouns (names), and languages.
* "tony" becomes "Tony" (start of sentence and person's name).
* "english" becomes "English" (language name).
* "korean" becomes "Korean" (language name).
* Result:
Tony speaks English and Korean.
6.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence and proper nouns (names).
* "his" becomes "His" (start of sentence).
* "simon" becomes "Simon" (person's name).
* Result:
His brother's name is Simon.
7.
Rule: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence and proper nouns (names).
* "mitchell" becomes "Mitchell" (start of sentence and person's name).
* "andy" becomes "Andy" (person's name).
* Result:
Mitchell and Andy are always fighting.
Final Answer:
1. I live in New York.
2. Alice goes to her dad's house on weekends.
3. I have read 'Charlotte's Web' twice.
4. Gary plays baseball every Tuesday.
5. Tony speaks English and Korean.
