Capital vs Capitol 🔒

Telling capital from capitol confuses plenty of native speakers too, and these 9 questions make the split clear.

You complete sentences such as I need more ___ to keep my business going. or The dome of the US ___ is what people remember most.

Here is a handy memory trick the quiz quietly reinforces: capitol with an o only refers to the actual building with the dome, while capital covers everything else, from a capital city to the money you invest in a business.

Recommended level: intermediate.
