Let's solve the capitalization worksheet step by step. The task is to
rewrite each word or phrase,
capitalizing where needed.
We’ll go through each item and apply correct capitalization rules:
---
Capitalization Rules to Remember:
-
Proper nouns (names of specific people, places, brands, etc.) are capitalized.
-
First word of a sentence is capitalized.
-
Names of people: First name and last name both capitalized.
-
Brands and companies: Capitalize brand names.
-
Cities and countries: Capitalized.
-
Titles before names: Like "Mrs." should be capitalized.
-
Common nouns (like "television") are not capitalized unless they're part of a proper noun.

Now, let’s fix each one:
1.
uncle mark → Uncle Mark
*(“Uncle” is a title before a name, so both “Uncle” and “Mark” are capitalized.)*
2.
timothy → Timothy
*(A person’s name – always capitalized.)*
3.
burger king → Burger King
*(This is a company name – both words are capitalized.)*
4.
television → television
*(A common noun – no capitalization needed.)*
5.
chevrolet → Chevrolet
*(A car brand – proper noun, so capitalized.)*
6.
general smallwood → General Smallwood
*(“General” is a military rank used as a title before a name, so both are capitalized.)*
7.
mrs. miller → Mrs. Miller
*(Title “Mrs.” and surname “Miller” are both capitalized.)*
8.
ken and ian → Ken and Ian
*(Both are names – capitalize both.)*
9.
paris → Paris
*(A city name – proper noun, so capitalized.)*
10.
samsung → Samsung
*(A brand name – capitalized.)*
11.
kindergarten → kindergarten
*(A common noun, even though it's a grade level, it's not capitalized unless at the start of a sentence.)*
