Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. Rewrite correctly: 'my friend is ana' becomes My friend is Ana
'My' starts the sentence and 'Ana' is a name, so both must be capitalized.
2. Rewrite correctly: 'today is friday' becomes Today is Friday
'Today' starts the sentence and 'Friday' is a day of the week, so both begin with capitals.
3. Rewrite correctly: 'i see mom' becomes I see Mom
'I' is always capitalized and 'Mom' is used as a name here, so both are capital letters.
4. Rewrite correctly: 'we go in may' becomes We go in May
'We' starts the sentence and 'May' is a month, so both words need capital first letters.
5. Rewrite correctly: 'ben and i ran' becomes Ben and I ran
'Ben' is a name that starts the sentence, and 'I' is always written as a capital letter.
