Basic rules of capitalization and punctuation are given below.
Proper nouns (e.g. James, India, Egypt, Ganga and Everest) always begin with capital letters.
A capital letter is used at the beginning of a sentence.
A statement and an imperative sentence end with a full stop, where as an interrogative sentence ends with a question mark and an exclamatory sentence ends with an exclamation mark.
Rewrite the following sentences using appropriate punctuation marks and capital letters wherever necessary.
