python 2.7.6 isupper function in if/elif/else statements

I need help with the str.isupper() function. I am trying to use it in an if/elif/else statement. The program is this.

String = raw_input( 'Please enter a string. ')
if String[:1].isupper():
    print 'The first character,' + string[0] ('is capitalized')

I am trying to make it so if you enter a capital it will print one thing and if it is not capitalized it will print something else. How would i do this?

Edit: I guess I don't understand how to make the program print the two situations. I get if/elif/else statements, but i don't understand them with the isupper() function. Please explain.

The print statement required two minor corrections:

String = raw_input( 'Please enter a string. ')
if String[:1].isupper():
    print 'The first character,' + String[0] + ', is capitalized'

The first was that String needed to be capitalized. and the second was to remove the parentheses.

MORE: Here is the code with a working if/else statement to show both cases:

String = raw_input( 'Please enter a string. ')
if String[:1].isupper():
    print 'The first character, ' + String[0] + ', is capitalized'
else:
    print 'The first character, ' + String[0] + ', is not capitalized'
