Writing clearly in EnglishTo write well in English, you need to write clearly. Use CAPITAL letters and periods (.) to show where sentences start and finish. Also, write neatly and put spaces between words.

Rewrite each sentence using capital letters, spaces and periods in the right places.

Hi. My name is Scott.

Use a capital letter I (not i) when talking about yourself. Also use a capital letter at the start of names (people, countries, languages, books and movies).
