Issue: Using capital letters


When I have been proof reading work a key issue has emerged - I need to ask, are you using capital letters properly?

A reminder is below - we use capital letters:
  • In the names of people, places, or related words
  • At the beginning of a sentence or bullet point
  • In the titles of books, films, organisations, competitions etc.
  • In abbreviations.
The Oxford Dictionary guide to using capital letters is here.

If you'd like to practise your punctuation you can print out a worksheet here, I will be happy to go back over it with you in class.
