Explanation:

We must capitalize the first word of each new sentence after a period. Proper names such as people's names or names of countries must also be capitalized.Whenever we finish a complete thought and start a new sentence, we must use a period.The use of commas unfolds into different rules. For instance, when we add an appositive to a sentence, that is, a word or phrase that explains another word, we place it between commas. Commas are also used to separate items in a list, even if each item is an entire clause. Commas also separate introductory phrases from the rest of the sentence.
