Capitals and Commas: Part 1

Question 11 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Read the paragraph.Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal cat, Max.

Answer
A
The word “soccer” should be capitalized.
B
Insert a comma after “cards”
C
The word “cat” should be capitalized.
D
Insert a comma after “athlete”

Explanation

The phrase “who is an excellent athlete” adds extra information about the dad, so it should be set off with commas. There is already a comma before “who,” so insert another comma after “athlete”: “...an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.” “Soccer” and “cat” are common nouns and do not need capital letters.
