Capital letters are small signals that mean a lot. Tap the rules below to see exactly when to use one — then meet Rani Abbakka, a brave queen, in your Poorvi reader and spot every capital for yourself.

Capital letters (A, B, C…) are the bigger letters. They tell the reader that a word is special — that it begins a sentence or names a particular person, place or thing. The rest of the time we use small (lowercase) letters.
Tap the rules in the explorer above to see each one with its own example.
Learn these six rules and your writing will look neat and correct:
Common words like friend, river or city stay in small letters — unless they begin a sentence.
A few errors come up again and again. Watch out for them:
Worked example. Capitalise correctly: "we visited karnataka on monday."
Capitalise the first word we → We, the place name karnataka → Karnataka and the day monday → Monday: "We visited Karnataka on Monday."
Where you'll meet it
Using capitals in the right places makes your writing clear and correct — and it earns marks. An examiner notices a missing capital at the start of a sentence or in a name straight away.
The names of people and places — Rani Abbakka, Karnataka, your own town — always take a capital. Writing them correctly shows respect and helps the reader know exactly who or where you mean.

Modelled on the competency-based pattern — fixing and choosing capital letters, an assertion–reason and a case study — testing whether you can use the rules, not just recall them.
Interactive built to the OpenMAIC approach (THU-MAIC, MIT). The example sentences are original practice content; the story Rani Abbakka — about a brave queen who defended her land — is in the NCERT Class 7 English reader, Poorvi (ncert.nic.in).
