What are the capital letters?

Capital letters (also called upper case) are letters used at the beginning of a sentence and for a proper noun. They may also be used at the beginning of the important words in a title or sign.

What is the use of capital letters?

We use them mainly for the first letter of sentences, names, days and months as well as for some abbreviations. We always write the first person pronoun as a capital I. It is not usual to write whole sentences in capitals. A sentence or paragraph written in capitals is very difficult to read.
