How To Use Capital Letters

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Upper cases (capital letters) are bigger than lower cases (little letters). Capital letters are called upper cases and the little letters are called lower case. This will help you with when you can use it or how you use it.

You can put capitals for geographical places (places in the world) for example there is a big rugby game on Saturday and its NZ vs AUS. There are lots of things that start with capitals. At the start of a name it needs a capital like Owen. Geographical places are capitals of countries, and restaurants and more.  

You could use capitals after a ? For an example where is my dog?

“ I don’t know”. He was here last time but he disappeared when I had a drink. If there is a dot on the bottom of a question mark and that means it is a full stop, and also exclamation mark.

You have to use a upper case for the letter I by itself. For an example I was the first year six to get a jumper. I came fourth in high jump and shot put. Or you could say I’m really happy today and what a wonderful day. There are more than using the upper case on the letter I by itself. You also use capital I on I’m or I,ll and even I,ve.

You could use capital letters when you write the words like Christmas or New years Eve for an example I can’t wait for Christmas. Man all the boys at school can’t wait for that turkey for New Years Eve. There are more than these two words like Halloween and Easter and more.

You should always use capitals when you need to. Otherwise it wouldn't make sense so use them !
