Learn About Capital Letters!
Capital letters help your writing make sense. They show readers when a new sentence starts, who you're talking about, or even what month it is!
Without them, your writing might look like a big puzzle.
Here's an easy way to remember when to use capital letters: think of M.I.N.T.S. Each letter stands for something important.
| M | onths | Capitalize months like July and August. | |
| I | Capitalize the word I. | ||
| N | ames | Capitalize people, places, or specific things like Sarah or Texas. | |
| T | itles | Capitalize titles of books, movies, or songs. | |
| S | entences | Capitalize the first word in a sentence. |
Try something fun!
On a piece of paper, write M.I.N.T.S. down the side. As you watch the video below, write an example next to it. For example, next to M, you might write June.
Using capital letters shows you know how to write clearly and helps your readers understand your ideas.
