Let's review the basic capitalization rules in English before heading back to school! In this lesson, we'll talk about the basics of capitalization so you know when, where, and how to capitalize words in English. Capital letters (uppercase letters) make words stand out as opposed to small (lowercase) letters.
The most important rules include capitalizing the first word at the beginning of a sentence, always capitalizing the pronoun "I," capitalizing proper nouns (names, days, months, nationalities, holidays), and more!
We'll go over 8 different capitalization rules you must follow to excel in English writing. At the end of this lesson, there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge. You will have to capitalize eight different sentences correctly and fix any errors.
