Let’s go through each sentence one by one and fix the capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.
---
1. where is erica going.
- “where” should be capitalized → “Where”
- “erica” is a name → should be “Erica”
- It’s a question → needs a question mark at the end
✔ Fixed:
Where is Erica going?
---
2. i can’t wait four my birthday?
- “i” should be capitalized → “I”
- “four” is wrong — it should be “for” (homophone error)
- This is not a question — it’s an excited statement → change “?” to “!”
✔ Fixed:
I can’t wait for my birthday!
---
3. I live in chesapeake, virginia
- “chesapeake” and “virginia” are proper nouns (city and state) → capitalize both
- Needs a period at the end
✔ Fixed:
I live in Chesapeake, Virginia.
---
4. my best friend is sarah?
- “my” should be capitalized → “My”
- “sarah” is a name → “Sarah”
- This is a statement, not a question → change “?” to “.”
✔ Fixed:
My best friend is Sarah.
---
5. we are Going to wal-mart
- “we” should be capitalized → “We”
- “Going” should NOT be capitalized mid-sentence → “going”
- “wal-mart” is a brand name → should be “Walmart” (official spelling, no hyphen, capital W)
✔ Fixed:
We are going to Walmart.
*(Note: Some people still write “Wal-Mart,” but the company officially changed to “Walmart” in 2008. For schoolwork, “Walmart” is correct.)*
---
6. McDonald’s is My favorite Restaurant!
- “McDonald’s” is correct (brand name)
- “My” should NOT be capitalized here — only first word of sentence and proper nouns get caps → “my”
- “Restaurant” should not be capitalized unless it’s part of a title → “restaurant”
✔ Fixed:
McDonald’s is my favorite restaurant!
---
Final Answer:
1. Where is Erica going?
2. I can’t wait for my birthday!
3. I live in Chesapeake, Virginia.
4. My best friend is Sarah.
5. We are going to Walmart.
6. McDonald’s is my favorite restaurant!
