Hi. How does rule 5 apply to titles that begin with an article within or at the end of a sentence? For example: One of my favorite comedy sitcoms is The Goldberg’s.

@SparkleEnglish 3 жыл бұрын

The title should always be capitalized even if it begins with an article or preposition. Generally, the last word should always be capitalized as well. Check out this website for help with capitalizing titles: titlecaseconverter.com/ It will capitalize every title for you automatically following all the rules.

So in the mini quiz at the end, the last practice sentence is, “She’s English but she speaks French perfectly.” Shouldn’t there be a comma between “English” and “but”? Or is that an exception to the comma rule? Genuinely asking, I’d like to get into transcribing and I want to know all the rules.

@SparkleEnglish Жыл бұрын

Great question! A comma between two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction is optional if the independent clauses are very short (under 4 words).
