This is a London bus. London is a proper noun and therefore needs a capital letter.
Capital Letters 01
Let's have a blast with a KS2 English quiz all about capital letters! Capital letters are like the superheroes of sentences – they start every sentence and shine on proper nouns, like names of people or places.
When reading, capital letters show us where sentences begin. Proper nouns, like Charles Dickens or London, stay capitalised even in the middle of a sentence. But remember, most words don't need capitals, except at the start. Nail the capital game in this quiz and become a capital letter champion!
