Capitalization: First Word of a Sentence

• Capital letters are used in many places.

One place capital letters are used is at the

beginning of a sentence.

• A sentence always begins with a capital letter.

Example

Camping is fun. Have you ever slept outside?

Underline the beginning letter of each sentence

three times.

did you know that the teddy bear is over one hundred years

old? this popular toy has been around longer than the electric

light, telephone, and motor car. in 1902, President Theodore

Roosevelt was on a hunting trip and had the chance to shoot a

captured bear. he refused, saying “Spare the bear!” a cartoon

was drawn of this event and was put into the newspaper.

two shopkeepers, Morris and Rose Michtom, made a soft bear

that they called Teddy’s Bear. the teddy bear was an overnight

success and still very popular today.
