To solve this worksheet, we need to fix the capitalization in each sentence. Here are the rules we will use:
1.
First Word: Always capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
2.
Names: Capitalize the first letter of people's names (like Tom, Mary, Alex).
3.
Titles: Capitalize the first letter of titles like "Mr.", "Mrs.", or "Dr."
4.
Proper Nouns: Capitalize specific names of books, movies, days of the week, and months (like Harry Potter, Avengers, Mondays).
