THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN WRITING 



Every sentence should begin with a capital letter. 



Names of months and days of the week should begin with 

 capital letters. 



Every statement should end with a period. 



Every question should end with a question mark. 



When writing we sometimes wish to shorten words. We 

 write Sept. for September, Tues. for Tuesday, 111. for Illinois. 

 A word so shortened is called an abbreviation. 



Every abbreviation should be followed by a period.
