Original sentence: Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved wearing a red riding cloak, so everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

Small improvement:

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved to wear a red riding cloak. Everyone in the village called her Little Red Riding Hood.

Why this is good (easy steps):

  1. We use a big letter at the start of the sentence: "Once" starts with a capital letter.
  2. Names are special words, so each word in "Little Red Riding Hood" starts with a big letter.
  3. We split into two short sentences so it is easier to read and sounds nice when you say it out loud.
  4. The comma after "Once upon a time" is fine, and the rest just needs a full stop (period) to end the first sentence.

Good job — your sentence was already clear! This tiny change just makes it a little easier to read aloud.
