English grammar lesson 10: Capital letters and punctuation · Set 548 · 40 questions

The grammar rule (Capitals, marks, apostrophes): Capital letters: the first word of a sentence, the word I, and every proper noun (Jaipur, Monday, Diwali). End marks: ? after a question, . after a telling sentence, ! after “What a …!” or “How …!”. Apostrophes: in short forms, where letters are left out (do not → don’t); and to show who owns something (Riya’s bag).
