which words need to be capitalized? my neighbors across the street have a new car, it's a toyota. ( My, Toyota )

Right!

Ooops! Thanks, DrBob. I missed that.

After car, you should have either a period or a semicolon. If you choose to make it two sentences, then It's should be capitalized.

In the sentence, "My neighbors across the street have a new car, it's a Toyota," the words "My" and "Toyota" need to be capitalized.

In general, the words that need to be capitalized in a sentence are:

1. The first word of the sentence: "My"
2. Proper nouns (names of specific people, places, or things): "Toyota"

To identify these words, you can follow these guidelines:

1. Capitalize the first word of the sentence: In your example, the first word is "my" and it should be capitalized as "My".

2. Capitalize proper nouns: Proper nouns refer to specific people, places, or things. In your example, "Toyota" is a proper noun as it refers to a specific brand of car and should be capitalized.

Therefore, the correct capitalization for your sentence would be: "My neighbors across the street have a new car, it's a Toyota."
