Answer:

Febuary fourteenth, also known as Valentine's Day, is celebrated all over the United States. Greeting cards are sent to relatives and sweethearts. Many people also receive large boxes of chocolates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rules about capitalization: common nouns are not capitalized (sweethearts and chocolates). Names of countries, cities, and celebration days are capitalized ( United States, ValentineĀ“s day). All proper nouns in English are capitalized.

Rules about punctuation: The first word after a period should always be capitalized (many).

Spelling: the correct spelling of the word "relatives".
