Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the capital letters where needed. Remember: titles like “President,” “Principal,” “Ms.,” “Senator,” “Mr.,” “Miss,” “Queen,” and “Mrs.” should be capitalized when they come before a person’s name. Also, names of people always start with a capital letter.

1. Original: We learned about president lincoln in history class.
→ “president” is a title before a name → capitalize it → “President”
→ “lincoln” is a last name → capitalize it → “Lincoln”
✔ Fixed: We learned about President Lincoln in history class.
2. Original: principal jackson is very kind.
→ “principal” is a title before a name → capitalize → “Principal”
→ “jackson” is a last name → capitalize → “Jackson”
✔ Fixed: Principal Jackson is very kind.
3. Original: My teacher is ms. rachel.
→ “ms.” is a title → capitalize → “Ms.”
→ “rachel” is a first name → capitalize → “Rachel”
✔ Fixed: My teacher is Ms. Rachel.
4. Original: I saw senator meyers on the television.
→ “senator” is a title → capitalize → “Senator”
→ “meyers” is a last name → capitalize → “Meyers”
✔ Fixed: I saw Senator Meyers on the television.
5. Original: Did you know my neighbor is mr. smith?
→ “mr.” is a title → capitalize → “Mr.”
→ “smith” is a last name → capitalize → “Smith”
✔ Fixed: Did you know my neighbor is Mr. Smith?
6. Original: My sister knows miss laura.
→ “miss” is a title → capitalize → “Miss”
→ “laura” is a first name → capitalize → “Laura”
✔ Fixed: My sister knows Miss Laura.
7. Original: I read a book about queen elizabeth.
→ “queen” is a title → capitalize → “Queen”
→ “elizabeth” is a first name → capitalize → “Elizabeth”
✔ Fixed: I read a book about Queen Elizabeth.
8. Original: mrs. bailey and my mom are good friends.
→ “mrs.” is a title → capitalize → “Mrs.”
→ “bailey” is a last name → capitalize → “Bailey”
→ “mom” here is not used as a title before a name — it’s just “my mom” — so no need to capitalize unless it’s replacing a name (like “Hi, Mom!”). Here, it stays lowercase.
✔ Fixed: Mrs. Bailey and my mom are good friends.
