Citizenship · Writing Test Sentences

The officer dictates: 'We vote in November.' Which is correctly written?

Correct answer

We vote in November.

  1. A We voted in November
  2. B we vote in november
  3. C We vote in Novembar
  4. D We vote in November.

Why this is the answer

Correct: 'We vote in November.' — capital 'W' at the start, 'November' capitalized (months are capitalized in English), correct spelling, and end punctuation. Errors to avoid: lowercase first word and 'november' (months must be capitalized), misspelling 'Novembar' (correct is N-O-V-E-M-B-E-R), and wrong tense ('voted'). Key vocabulary: VOTE (V-O-T-E), NOVEMBER. Elections are held in November; the USCIS writing test requires writing the dictated sentence with correct spelling and capitalization.
