You operate the shift key with the small finger. Therefore, first practice with the small finger from the key a and ö to the shift key. To type capital letters,  depress the shift key with one hand and strike the desired alphabetic character with the other hand. If you would like to type a capital g for example, first hold down the shift key with the left hand, keep it pressed and strike g with the forefinger of the right hand. After this, both fingers immediately return to the normal position. Thus: Typing a capital letter happens in three steps:

1. Decide whether to hold down the shift key with the left or right small finger.

2.  Keep the shift key pressed and type the desired capital letter. 

3.  Return all fingers to the normal position. 

Once again the same rule applies here:  Only practice can make you perfect.
