🔍 Explanation:
- Every sentence must start with a capital letter.
- The pronoun "I" is always capitalized.
- In these sentences, there are no proper nouns (like names of people or places), so only the first word needs to be capitalized.
- No other words need capitalization unless they're proper nouns (e.g., "Burger King" in the example).
This exercise helps students practice basic capitalization rules for sentence beginnings and personal pronouns.
