Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find where capital letters should be used — and explain why.
Remember: Capital letters are used for:
- The first word of a sentence
- Names of people, places, or specific things (like countries, religions, school subjects if they’re languages)
- Titles like “President” when it’s part of someone’s name
---
Sentence 1:
*two presidents attended the ceremony, including president bush.*
→ First word “two” → should be
Two (start of sentence)
→ “president bush” → “President” is part of his title + “Bush” is his last name → both need capitals →
President Bush
✔ Corrected:
Two presidents attended the ceremony, including
President Bush.
Why?
- Start of sentence = capital
- “President Bush” is a person’s official title and name → always capitalized
---
Sentence 2:
*at school i take science, math, french and english.*
→ First word “at” → should be
At
→ “i” → always capitalized as
I
→ “french” and “english” → these are languages → must be capitalized →
French,
English
✔ Corrected:
At school
I take science, math,
French and
English.
Why?
- Start of sentence = capital
- “I” is always capitalized
- Languages are proper nouns → French, English, Spanish, etc. → always capitalized
---
Sentence 3:
*the story of robin hood takes place in england.*
→ First word “the” → should be
The
→ “robin hood” → this is a person’s name →
Robin Hood
→ “england” → country name →
England
✔ Corrected:
The story of
Robin Hood takes place in
England.
Why?
- Start of sentence = capital
- Person’s name = Robin Hood → both parts capitalized
- Country name = England → always capitalized
---
Sentence 4:
*christianity and judaism are religions.*
→ First word “christianity” → should be
Christianity
→ “judaism” → religion name →
Judaism
✔ Corrected:
Christianity and
Judaism are religions.
Why?
- Start of sentence = capital
- Religion names are proper nouns → Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism → always capitalized
---
Final Answer:
1. Two presidents attended the ceremony, including President Bush.
→ “Two” starts the sentence; “President Bush” is a person’s title and name.
2. At school I take science, math, French and English.
→ “At” starts the sentence; “I” is always capitalized; “French” and “English” are languages.
3. The story of Robin Hood takes place in England.
→ “The” starts the sentence; “Robin Hood” is a person’s name; “England” is a country.
4. Christianity and Judaism are religions.
→ “Christianity” starts the sentence; both “Christianity” and “Judaism” are religion names.
