    • My Mom refuses to give me driving lessons in the new Corolla.

    • My Mom refuses to give me driving lessons in the new corolla.

    Correct Answer
    A. My mom refuses to give me driving lessons in the new Corolla.

     Do not capitalize a person's description (mom, brother, teacher), unless you are referring to them directly by that name and replacing their given name with the descriptor (hi Mom!). Do capitalize the formal name of a car (Corolla).

    Rate this question:

    Choose the correct sentence.

    • He lives in the Pacific Northwest.

    • He lives in the pacific northwest.

    • He lives in The Pacific Northwest.

    • He lives in the Pacific northwest.

    Correct Answer
    A. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
    Explanation
    The correct sentence is "He lives in the Pacific Northwest." because it follows the standard rules of capitalization and punctuation. Proper nouns, such as "Pacific Northwest," should be capitalized. Additionally, the sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period, which is the correct punctuation for a complete sentence.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Is this correct?   I am a Poet. I did not know it, My feet Show it. They are long fellows.

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The capitalization error in the line "My feet Show it." lies in the word "Show." In English grammar, unless a word is a proper noun, it should generally be written in lowercase when not at the beginning of a sentence. In this case, "Show" should be written as "show" to adhere to standard capitalization rules.

    • On Tuesday, professor Hayes suggested i ask another professor for feedback on my Civil War essay.

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. On Tuesday, Professor Hayes suggested I ask another professor for feedback on my Civil War essay.
    A. On Tuesday, Professor Hayes suggested I ask another professor for feedback on my civil war essay.
    Explanation
    Sentences A and C correctly use capital letters according to standard rules of English capitalization. Proper nouns, such as "Tuesday," "Professor Hayes," and "Civil War," should always be capitalized, along with the pronoun "I." Sentence A is fully correct, while sentence C is also correct because "civil war" can be lowercase when referring to the general concept of civil wars, but in most contexts, it’s typically capitalized when referring to a specific event like the American Civil War.

    A. My shirt got dirty at lunch today.
    Explanation
    The first sentence should be "Steven has one older brother." Proper nouns like names need to be capitalized.

    Only the third sentence, "My shirt got dirty at lunch today," has correct capitalization.
