New York State Elementary Test Prep: ELA 4 Grade 2) Capitalize Words at the Beginning of a Sentence


Tweety Bird says, "Every new sentence begins with a capital letter."


Daffy Duck replies, "When you write a sentence you MUST show where it begins. To show this you have to capitalize the first word in each new sentence!"

			Tweety Bird responds, "If you write a paragraph and don't capitalize the first word of every new sentence, the paragraph won't make much sense!"

"Read this paragraph to see why it is important to capitalize words at the beginning of sentences," answers Daffy Duck.

when writing a paragraph it is important to capitalize the first word in every new sentence. if you don't do this the person who reads your sentences will have a difficult time trying to figure out what you are saying. it gets even harder when you forget to put a punctuation mark at the end of your sentences. if you fail to do this your sentences will run together. this is why it is important to capitalize words at the beginning of sentences.

	"Take a look at how this paragraph changes with capitals added to the first word in every new sentence!" shout Daffy and Tweety.
