Hi,

For the following synthesis:

Mother brought me to the dentist. I had a bad toothache.

Ans: I had a bad toothache so Mother brought me to the dentist.

If my ds put "mother" instead of "Mother", is it still correct?

If my ds put \"mother\" instead of \"Mother\", is it still correct?

I think it would have to be \"my mother\" rather than just Mother.

'Mother' with a capital 'M' is like a proper noun; if 'mother' is used, it is a common noun so there needs to be a 'my'.
