Find the Error 3
(Extract adapted from an article in a local hand-delivered magazine)
What kind of mistake do you see? (Choose one:)
- apostrophes
- articles
- doesn't make sense
- punctuation
- singular / plural
- spelling
Answer: punctuation
The word 'event' does not need a capital letter. It is a common noun, not a
proper noun, and therefore should start with a small 'e'. In contrast, 'Nature
Journal Monthly' is the name of the magazine and as such is a proper noun
and needs a capital letter at the start of each part of its name. 'May', 'June'
and 'April' are also proper nouns and should start with capital letters because
they are names of months. 'Please', 'The' and 'Thank' all start with a capital
letter because they are the first words in their sentences.
