Capital Letters You should always use a capital letter:
At the beginning of a sentence
For the pronoun ‘I’
For proper nouns – names of actual or specific people,
places, objects, films or book titles.
For example: Theo, Miss Fenton, April, Monday, Italy,
Declaration of Independence, ‘Frozen’.

Full Stop Full stops are needed to split up sentences so that
we know where to pause.
They are used when we have finished saying
one thing and want to say something else.

Full Stop We place full stops at the end of statements i.e. a
sentence which tells you something.
For example:
Lara visited the zoo on Saturday.
Nothing is being asked and there is no strong
emotion so we use a full stop to show that the
sentence is complete.
Can you think of a sentence which would end with a
full stop?

Question Mark Question marks are used to show that a question
has been asked.
You will often find yourself using them when writing
dialogue (e.g. a character may ask something) or
rhetorical questions.
For example:
Would you like a cup of tea?
Can you think of a sentence ending with a question
mark?

Question Mark
If a sentence starts with a question word it will need a
question mark at the end.
