Capital Letters and Full Stops - Worksheet

Capital letters and full stops are the bedrock of written English, denoting the beginning of sentences and the proper nouns within them. A series of worksheets have been crafted to help students master the use of these fundamental punctuation marks. The first worksheet presents a list of sentences such as "the girl ate the bread" and "elephants are grey," which students are tasked to rewrite, incorporating the correct use of capital letters at the start and full stops at the end. This exercise aims to reinforce the concept that every sentence should begin with a capital letter and conclude with a full stop.

Further worksheets focus on the use of capital letters for names and other proper nouns. For example, sentences like "jack cheered loudly." and "my birthday is in august." require students to identify and correct the lowercase names and days of the week. Another worksheet, titled "Capital Letters and Full Stops Worksheet 2," provides sentences with missing punctuation related to names, places, and specific times, such as "my teacher’s name is mrs green" and "the brown family are going on holiday in july." Students must rewrite these sentences, applying capital letters and full stops where necessary. The final worksheet challenges students to correct a passage about a space mission, ensuring that all sentences are properly punctuated and capitalised, transforming the text into a correctly punctuated narrative.
