About this worksheet
Sentences with names, places, days and holidays that need capital letters.
What kids practice
Capital letters start important words: the first word of a sentence, the word I, names of people and pets, days, months, holidays, places and product names. Commas help keep things apart, like between the day and year in a date (July 4, 2026), between a city and state (Austin, Texas), and after the greeting and closing of a letter.
Watch for
- Forgetting capitals on holidays and places, like halloween or lake erie.
- Capitalizing every word in a place name, including small words like of.
- Leaving out the comma in a date or after Dear in a letter.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full capitals and commas in dates guide for 2nd grade.
