The personal pronoun "I" is always capitalized in English, mainly because as a singular letter it looks better. I believe English is the only language where the first person pronoun is capitalized. An auxiliary or also called helping verbs are sometimes needed in order to clarify the main verb. Auxiliary verbs help to clarify whether or not an action occurs, when the action of the main verb takes place, who or what is responsible for that action, and whether we are making a statement or asking a question. In your sentence the verb is give. A helping verb such as can or could, should be used, so it would be "can you give", or "could you give". So in your sentence you want to clarify that you are asking a question and not making a statement.

At first it might seem foreign since your native language has a different alphabet and since English or read from left to right instead of right to left. Never give up though, no matter how hard it gets. Also, remember each word as it's own word, not a translation of an Arabic word. If you do that, it'll take you much more time to try and speak the language quickly and fluently. Instead, learn the word in English, learn the word in Arabic for it, and every time you see a sentence with that word in Arabic, replace it with the English word as you read it! One time when I was learning a language, I did that so much with a word that one time when I had to write a sentence, I accidently started writing the word in the other language! When I had to memorize a sentence with that word in it, the word automatically became the word in the other language without me even thinking about it! Soon enough, after replacing the word in English with the word from the other language, I didn't think of the word from the other language as a translation of something in English, I thought of it as its own word. This helped me a lot because it was easier and quicker for me to think and say that word. Hope this helped! :D
