Grammar & Mechanics Deep Dive

Core 1st Grade Montessori rules with visual contrasts & micro-drills

🏷️ Common vs. Proper Nouns

A common noun names any general person, place, or thing (lowercase). A proper noun names a specific person, place, or holiday and ALWAYS starts with a CAPITAL letter.

• girl (common) ➔ Naina (proper)

• city (common) ➔ Tracy (proper)

• teacher (common) ➔ Mrs. Gore (proper)

• school (common) ➔ Montessori School (proper)

🧩 Suffix Magic (-s, -ed, -ing)

A suffix is an ending added to a base word that changes its meaning or when it happened:

• -s / -es = More than one (job ➔ jobs, chore ➔ chores)

• -ed = Happened in the past (cook ➔ cooked, play ➔ played)

• -ing = Happening right now (work ➔ working, read ➔ reading)

🔠 The 4 Big Capitalization Rules

Always use an uppercase capital letter for:

1. The very first word of every sentence.

2. Names of people and titles (Naina, Mrs. Gore).

3. Days of the week and months (Monday, September).

4. Cities, states, and holidays (Tracy, California).

🔍 Quick Evening Fix-It Drill: Can you spot the 4 lowercase mistakes?

          ❌ "on monday naina and mrs. gore visited tracy."
        

✅ Correct: "On Monday, Naina and Mrs. Gore visited Tracy."
