Some of the keys on your keyboard are used for more than one character.
Pressing keys directly (as you have been doing) types lower case characters.
"For example, numbers from the top row of your keyboard are lower case"
characters.
"Aren't you too young to learn to type?"
"Say, you're very good for a young person!"
"Teenagers RULE!"
"That's a very good age; you must be enjoying yourself!"
"The age of experience; great wines are aged!"
"Senior citizens have much to write and type about."
"That's not possible; you wouldn't be typing so fast!"
