In English, we do not use capitals letters very much, but perhaps we use them more than in Spanish. They are mainly used for the first letter of sentences, names, days and months and for some abbreviations. In addition, of course, we always write the first person pronoun as a capital I.
When do we Use Capital Letters?
1. Use a capital letter for the personal pronoun 'I':
What can I have to eat?
2. Use a capital letter to begin a sentence or to begin speech:
The man entered the room. He didn’t speak.
Finally John asked, "What is the matter?"
3. Use capital letters for many abbreviations and acronyms:
