- 49. Thank you fortelling me about yourself- I’m glad that you enjoyed today and hope that you enjoy all of your lessons Take care with capital letters – every sentence must start with a capital and end with a full stop. Also ‘I’ and countries always have capitals but not other words. I’ve underlined all of your mistakes with punctuation. Try to correct these mistakes in class – ask me if you are not sure. Well done for your hard work.
