What is a capital letter?

Capital letters are a type of punctuation mark that is used at the beginning of sentences. They are also used for proper nouns such as names of people (Mrs Smith), places (London) or things (Ferrari). They are also used for days of the week and months of the year.

National Curriculum English programme of study links

Pupils should learn to name the letters of the alphabet by naming the letters of the alphabet in order.
Pupils should develop their understanding by using capital letters for names of people, places, the days of the week, and the personal pronoun I.
