Error correction worksheet focusing on capitalization rules, with one mistake per sentence and a checkmark for correct sentences.

You're right — this is an Error Correction: Capitalization worksheet. The task says:

> ● Find and correct the TEN mistakes below (one mistake per sentence).
> ● Put a check next to the SIX sentences that have NO MISTAKES.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one, identify capitalization errors, and mark which ones are correct.

---

✔ Sentence 1: *My classmate is from sweden.*

- ✘ “sweden” should be capitalized → Sweden
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *My classmate is from Sweden.*

---

✔ Sentence 2: *Chris drove to the University yesterday.*

- ✘ “University” is capitalized, but unless it’s a proper name (like “Harvard University”), it shouldn’t be. Here, it’s generic → university
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Chris drove to the university yesterday.*

---

✔ Sentence 3: *I study in the library every Tuesday afternoon.*

- ✔️ “Tuesday” is correctly capitalized (days of the week).
- ✔️ No other words need capitalization.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 4: *We saw lions, tigers and camels at the zoo.*

- ✔️ All common nouns — no capitalization needed.
- ✔️ “We” is correctly capitalized as first word.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 5: *maybe Carla will see a movie tonight.*

- ✘ “maybe” should be capitalized → Maybe (first word of sentence)
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Maybe Carla will see a movie tonight.*

---

✔ Sentence 6: *My family and I live in an apartment building.*

- ✔️ “My” is capitalized (first word).
- ✔️ “I” is always capitalized.
- ✔️ No other errors.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 7: *Peru is located in south America.*

- ✘ “south America” → “South America” (direction + continent = proper noun)
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Peru is located in South America.*

---

✔ Sentence 8: *Did You talk to our teacher last week?*

- ✘ “You” should NOT be capitalized mid-sentence unless it’s the subject or part of a title.
- → you
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Did you talk to our teacher last week?*

---

✔ Sentence 9: *Let's get out our telescope and look at the moon.*

- ✔️ “Let’s” starts the sentence — correct.
- ✔️ “moon” is not capitalized unless referring to “the Moon” in astronomy context (but even then, often lowercase in casual use; however, technically, Earth’s moon is often capitalized: Moon).
- ⚠️ Debatable, but in most elementary grammar worksheets, “moon” is not capitalized unless specified.
- Let’s assume for this level: no mistake.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

*(Note: If your curriculum teaches “Moon” as a proper noun, then this would be a mistake. But since it’s not consistently enforced at this level, we’ll treat it as correct.)*

---

✔ Sentence 10: *I ordered a cheeseburger and soda at the school cafeteria.*

- ✔️ “I” is capitalized.
- ✔️ “school cafeteria” is generic — no capitalization needed.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 11: *I can speak three languages, but I can't speak german.*

- ✘ “german” should be capitalized → German (language names are proper nouns)
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *I can speak three languages, but I can't speak German.*

---

✔ Sentence 12: *Cambridge University is one of the oldest universities in the world.*

- ✔️ “Cambridge University” is a proper noun — correctly capitalized.
- ✔️ “universities” is generic — lowercase correct.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 13: *Thomas really wants to see the new Star wars movie at the theater.*

- ✘ “Star wars” → should be Star Wars (proper name of franchise)
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Thomas really wants to see the new Star Wars movie at the theater.*

---

✔ Sentence 14: *Will you be able to come to the picnic on the weekend?*

- ✔️ “Will” is capitalized (first word).
- ✔️ “weekend” is not a proper noun — lowercase correct.
- NO MISTAKE → ✔ Put a check here.

---

✔ Sentence 15: *Did you know that mr. Johnson is a policeman?*

- ✘ “mr.” should be capitalized → Mr. (title before name)
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *Did you know that Mr. Johnson is a policeman?*

---

✔ Sentence 16: *They want to meet us at seven O'clock tomorrow night.*

- ✘ “O'clock” → should be o’clock (lowercase ‘o’, with apostrophe)
- Also, “seven o’clock” is fine, but “O’clock” with capital O is incorrect.
- Mistake: Yes → Corrected: *They want to meet us at seven o’clock tomorrow night.*

---

## ✍️ Final Summary:

✔ Sentences with NO MISTAKES (put a check):

3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 12, 14

Wait — that’s 7 sentences! But the instructions say SIX sentences have no mistakes.

Let’s re-examine Sentence 9 (*Let's get out our telescope and look at the moon.*) — if we follow strict grammar rules, “moon” when referring to Earth’s natural satellite should be capitalized: Moon.

So let’s correct that:

→ Sentence 9 has a mistake: “moon” → Moon

Then corrected list of NO MISTAKES becomes:
✔ 3, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 → Exactly SIX

## 📝 CORRECTED SENTENCES (TEN MISTAKES FIXED):

1. My classmate is from Sweden.
2. Chris drove to the university yesterday.
5. Maybe Carla will see a movie tonight.
7. Peru is located in South America.
8. Did you talk to our teacher last week?
11. I can't speak German.
13. ...the new Star Wars movie...
15. ...that Mr. Johnson...
16. ...seven o’clock...
*(And Sentence 9: ...look at the Moon. — if we count it as a mistake)*

But wait — we only need to fix TEN mistakes, and we have 10 sentences with errors.

Actually, let’s count the sentences with mistakes:

From above:

1. Sweden → ✔
2. University → ✔
5. maybe → ✔
7. south America → ✔
8. You → ✔
11. german → ✔
13. Star wars → ✔
15. mr. → ✔
16. O'clock → ✔
9. moon → ✔ (if we count it)

That’s 10!

But the instruction says: “one mistake per sentence” — so we must pick exactly 10 sentences that have mistakes, and 6 that don’t.

If we count Sentence 9 as having a mistake, then:

✔ NO MISTAKES: 3, 4, 6, 10, 12, 14 → 6 sentences
✘ MISTAKES: 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16 → 10 sentences

Perfect!
