Capitalization and Punctuation Corrections
To correct the capitalization errors in the sentence provided by the student, we need to ensure that proper nouns, days of the week, and institutional names are capitalized. Here's the corrected sentence:
"Hey, Dad, I just scheduled an interview with the coach at Michigan State University for Thursday!" Cara said excitedly into the phone.
The four capitalization corrections are as follows:
- 'D' in 'Dad' as it is being used as a proper noun to address a person directly.
- 'M' in 'Michigan' because it is part of the proper noun 'Michigan State University'.
- 'S' in 'State' as it is part of the name 'Michigan State University'.
- 'U' in 'University' as it is part of the name 'Michigan State University'.
These corrections align with the rule to capitalize proper nouns and institutional names.
