Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about the quiz called “London with a Capital L” but your teacher will probably talk to you about "Capital Letters". If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
London is the capital of England and its first letter is always a capital! We use capital first letters for lots of important things in English, but these may not be quite the same as in other languages that you speak. For each question in this quiz, only ONE answer shows the capital letters used correctly... which one?

We usually put a capital letter on the title of someone, as well as their name (like Doctor Who).
