Let’s go step by step through each part of the worksheet.

Part 1: Capitalizing
We need to circle letters that should be capitalized. Remember:
- The first word in a sentence is always capitalized.
- Names of people, places, and days/months are also capitalized.
Let’s look at each sentence:
1. “i want to visit florida in december.”
- “i” → should be “I” (always capitalize “I” when it means yourself)
- “florida” → name of a state → should be “Florida”
- “december” → name of a month → should be “December”
✔ So we circle:
i,
f in florida,
d in december
2. “jack and jill are friends.”
- “jack” → person’s name → “Jack”
- “jill” → person’s name → “Jill”
✔ Circle:
j in jack,
j in jill
3. “mr. jones was here on tuesday.”
- “mr.” → title before a name → “Mr.” (capital M, period stays)
- “jones” → last name → “Jones”
- “tuesday” → day of the week → “Tuesday”
✔ Circle:
m in mr.,
j in jones,
t in tuesday
4. “my house is on broadway road.”
- “my” → not start of sentence? Wait — this IS the start of the sentence! So “My” needs capital M.
- “broadway road” → if it’s the actual name of the street, then both words are proper nouns → “Broadway Road”
✔ Circle:
m in my,
b in broadway,
r in road
*(Note: Sometimes “road” isn’t capitalized unless it’s part of the official name — but since it says “Broadway Road,” we treat it as a full proper noun.)*

Part 2: Punctuation
We need to add the right ending punctuation: period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation point (!).
Look at what kind of sentence it is:
1. “Where do you live___”
- This is asking a question → use ?
✔ Add:
?
2. “She is at the park___”
- This is just telling something → statement → use .
✔ Add:
.
3. “Wow, look at that elephant___”
- “Wow” shows excitement → this is an exclamatory sentence → use !
✔ Add:
!
4. “What are we eating for lunch___”
- Asking a question → use ?
✔ Add:
?

Final Answer:
Capitalizing:
1. I, Florida, December
2. Jack, Jill
3. Mr., Jones, Tuesday
4. My, Broadway, Road
Punctuation:
1. ?
2. .
3. !
4. ?
