Class 2 English - ICSE
Capital Letters and Full Stops
In the Chapter 'Capital Letters and Full Stops', Class 2 ICSE students learn the two most important rules of writing neat sentences. Every sentence must begin with a big capital letter and end with a little dot called a full stop. We also learn to use capital letters for special names of people, pets, cities, and days of the week. Mastering these basics is crucial for scoring high in the ICSE English Grammar exam, as punctuation and capitalization questions appear in every spelling, sentence-making, and error-correction test.
