Quarter 2, Week 6 – Rules in Capitalization and Use of Punctuation Marks

Our lesson was about Rules In Capitalization and Punctuation Marks. The practice of writing a word with the initial letter in uppercase and the remaining letters in lowercase is known as capitalization. Capitals aren't a problem for experienced writers. The primary purpose of capitals is to pay attention to specific aspects of a

group of people, places, or objects. Proper nouns and adjectives derived from those should be capitalized.Capitalize titles when they are used before names, unless the title is followed by a comma. Do not capitalize the title if it is used after a name or instead of a name. In the English language, there are 14 different types of punctuation marks. The period, question mark, exclamation point, comma, colon, semicolon, dash, hyphen, brackets, braces, parentheses, apostrophe, quote mark, and ellipsis are the punctuation marks that are commonly used in writing. 

The activities are easy and you can do it right away. I learned that in Rules In Capitalization, you need capitalize all proper nouns and capitalize the title of a person when it comes before a name. Also capitalize the first word in a sentence and capitalize the first word of a quoted sentence. In Punctuation Marks there are 6 commonly-used. First is Period (.) is placed at the end of declarative and imperative sentences. Second is Question Mark (?) is used to indicate direct question. Third is Exclamation Point (!) is utilized to convey strong emotion or excitement. Fourth is Comma (,) is used to show separation of ideas or elements within a sentence, it is also used in stating numbers and dates. Fifth is Apostrophe (‘) is used in contractions, plural, and possessive nouns. Lastly is Quotation Marks (?) is primarily used to denote exact words form a spoken or written language. There's none I find it difficult, the highlight of the blog is to know how to use Capitalization and Punctuation Marks.
