Learn capital T and lowercase t in cursive. Capital T has a wide top stroke over a hooked stem, and lowercase t is a short stem crossed after the word is finished.
These steps follow the traditional school letters shown above. Other handwriting systems may form T differently, so stay consistent with the style you are learning.
Capital T in cursive
Pull the stem down the slant from just below the top line to the baseline.
Hook the bottom to the left along the baseline.
Add the wide top stroke from left to right, resting on the top of the stem.
Lowercase t in cursive
Slant up from the baseline to about three-quarters of the height of a tall letter.
Retrace straight down to the baseline and curve up into the exit stroke.
Finish the word first, then come back and cross the stem just above the midline.
Common mistakes with cursive T

Making lowercase t as tall as l or b; it stops short of the top line.
