Let’s go step by step through each part of the worksheet.
---
Part a) Underline the name that does not start with capital letter.
We are looking for names in each sentence that should be capitalized but aren’t. Remember: Names of people always start with a capital letter.
1. “Have you seen sally?” → “sally” should be “Sally”. So underline
sally.
2. “Sally and dora are playing outside.” → “dora” should be “Dora”. So underline
dora.
3. “Why is tina crying?” → “tina” should be “Tina”. So underline
tina.
4. “john and Jamie are best friends.” → “john” should be “John”. So underline
john.
✔ All done for part (a).

Part b) Write names of your family members starting with a capital letter.
This part asks you to write real or made-up names for your family members — but they MUST start with a capital letter. Since this is personal, I’ll give examples using common names. You can change them to match your own family!
1. Mother:
Maria
2. Father:
David
3. Grandmother:
Linda
4. Grandfather:
Robert
5. Uncle:
Michael
6. Aunt:
Sarah
*(Note: These are example names. You can use any correct names as long as they start with a capital letter.)*
✔ Done for part (b).

Part c) Underline each name which has to be with a capital letter.
Look at the list. We need to find words that are names of people — those must be capitalized. Ignore pronouns like “his”, “her”, “she”, “he”, “they”, “my”, “mine” — those are not names.
List:
- cathy →
✔ Name → underline
- sammy →
✔ Name → underline
- william →
✔ Name → underline
- his →
✘ Not a name
- my →
✘ Not a name
- her →
✘ Not a name
- harry →
✔ Name → underline
- jessica →
✔ Name → underline
- mine →
✘ Not a name
- she →
✘ Not a name
- he →
✘ Not a name
- they →
✘ Not a name
- joseph →
✔ Name → underline
- elizabeth →
✔ Name → underline
- johnson →
✔ This could be a last name → underline (last names also get capitals!)
So underlined names:
cathy, sammy, william, harry, jessica, joseph, elizabeth, johnson
✔ Done for part (c).
