Grammar Capitalization and punctuation rules: Every sentence begins with a capital letter. So does every word in a proper noun. Commas are used to set apart words in a series. They also are used in dates and addresses and before a word that joins two simple sentences in a compound sentence. The first word and all important words in the titles of books, magazines, and newspapers begin with a capital letter. Those titles are underlined. The titles of nonfiction selections, stories, and poems are capitalized the same way. They use quotation marks, however.

Grammar Correct the following sentences with your partner. 1.i predict that I will be able to travel to mars jupiter and saturn by september I predict that I will be able to travel to Mars Jupiter and Saturn by September 28, i finished reading the science book of space and i hope to read a story called having fun in space.
