Writing tip (Start big, stop with a dot): Use a capital letter for the first word of every sentence and for the word I. Use a capital letter for names: people (Riya), places (Kochi), days (Thursday), months (June) and festivals (Onam). End a telling sentence with a full stop. Two complete ideas need two sentences: “The bell rang. The children ran out.”
