Practice identifying and capitalizing proper nouns in sentences.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one. We need to find the words that are proper nouns — these are names of specific people, places, things, or holidays. Proper nouns always start with a capital letter.

1. tom had a birthday party on friday.
→ “tom” is a person’s name → should be Tom
→ “friday” is a day of the week → should be Friday

2. The st. louis zoo has an elephant named roger.
→ “st. louis” is a city → should be St. Louis
→ “roger” is a pet’s name → should be Roger

3. It is very hot in africa during the month of june.
→ “africa” is a continent → should be Africa
→ “june” is a month → should be June

4. Evann and Ashton are twin sisters.
→ Both “Evann” and “Ashton” are already capitalized — they’re correct! ✔
