Punctuation: full stops and capital letters

At the beginning of every sentence, you need to use a CAPITAL LETTER. We also use capital letters for names of:

people         countries           cities             languages              nationalities            companies           months        days         roads and streets          attractions (eg art galleries, museums, shopping centres)
In Manchester, these common words need a capital letter:

Kaplan      Rusholme         Oxford Road      Piccadilly Gardens       Portland Street    Old Trafford        the Trafford Centre    the Arndale Centre       Manchester City Art Gallery         Manchester Museum

At the end of each sentence, you have to use a full stop .  Don't use a comma ( , ) at the end of a sentence.

Here is a game to help you practise:
