Capitalization
Sign in to play this song with your class.
Sign inDEFINITION:
the use of a capital letter at the head of a word.
HOW TO:
Capitalization is used on the first letter in the first word of a sentence or Proper nouns.
Example 1 : “The boy went fishing”. “She played with her doll.” I like to eat chocolate.” The “T” in “The”, “S” in “She” and “I” are all capitalized because they are the first letters in the first words.
Example 2: “He is from Florida.” A boy named John likes to eat Burger King every Tuesday.
“Florida, John, Burger King, and Tuesday” are all Proper nouns.
Everyday Use
Capitalization is used daily in Reading and Writing, Signs, Restaurant names and more.
Lyrics
Capitalization yeah, I do it big now
Cause if it got my name on it got to start another case
Capitalization, got to do it big now
Beginning of a sentence got to start with an upper case
When you write the first letter in a word in upper case
Then the remaining letters, write them in lower case
Now the way they do a sentence
The beginning of a sentence, or a name of a person or a place
And if you’re typing it right after the period space
Capitalization yeah, I do it big now
Cause if it got my name on it got to start another case
Capitalization, got to do it big now
Beginning of a sentence got to start with an upper case
Capitalize proper nouns, adjective to ride for them
Kevin KO Bates Project, Bridge the gap the KOOLriculum
The name of albums, cars and clothes, the shoes you be rocking And if you type in
my name be sure the caps are locked in
I say, the album, cars, the clothes, the shoes all that you be rocking
And if you type in my name make sure the caps are locked in
Capitalization yeah, I do it big now
Cause if it got my name on it got to start another case
Capitalization, got to do it big now
Beginning of a sentence got to start with an upper case
