LoginCapitalization
Capitalization is to write the first letter of a word in uppercase. In this lesson, you will learn all the rules about this subject.
What Is Capitalization?
Capitalization refers to use of capital letters at the beginning of certain words.
Capitalization: Types
There are many cases in which words must be capitalized. Here are two of them:
- At the beginning of the sentence
- Proper nouns
Now, let us discuss each separately:
Beginning of the Sentence
The first letter of the first word of every sentence must be written in uppercase. When a period (.), question mark (?), or exclamation mark (!) comes at the end of one sentence, another starts after it. So, the first letter after the punctuation must be capitalized. Look at the examples below:
As you can see, the type of the sentence does not matter.
Proper Nouns
Proper nouns are words that refer to specific people or things. Proper nouns are used to refer to people, animals, places, etc. The position of the proper noun in the sentence is not important; its first letter must always be in uppercase. Look:
I saw
As you can see, only the first letter of the name is capitalized.
I thought you were at
'
Warning!
Remember not to capitalize all the letters of a word. Compare:
Can you see
