On many occasions we find in the texts an incorrect use of capital letters that greatly impoverishes the quality of the text. So that your texts do not contain this type of error, today we propose some sentences in which you will have to correct those words that are in lowercase and should be written in uppercase, and vice versa. Also, you will have to briefly explain why.
Remember that capital letters are accented in the same way as lower case letters, and not putting a tilde in capitals that require it is considered a spelling error.
