Capital N in cursive
Capital N has two slanted stems joined by a diagonal, with a small curl at the start and an exit stroke at the end.
Lowercase n in cursive
Lowercase n has one rounded hump after a short lead-in stroke, then an exit stroke at the baseline.
Joining n to other letters
Lowercase n finishes with an exit stroke at the baseline that runs into the next letter. Trace sun to see the connection, then try the word on the blank copy line.
Compare n with m (two humps) and with lowercase u (a cup shape instead of a hump). In sun the n is the last letter.
