Using Proper
Capitalization
What is Capitalization?
A capital letter is used for the first word of a sentence
and for all proper nouns (words that name a
specific person, place, organization, or thing).

In some cases, capitalization is also required for the

first word in a quotation and the first word after a
colon.
Rules on
Capitalization
1. Capitalize the first letter in a
sentence.

Ex. The train does not leave at 12 AM.

The weather was beautiful.

Note: No matter what the word is, the first letter of the
first word in a sentence should always be capitalized.

Capitalization
2. Capitalize always the first letter of
the word within the quotation mark.

Ex. My sister said, “I need to do my

homework.”.
Do you know who said, “The apple
doesn't fall far from the tree”?

Note: When the quoted material is a complete sentence,

capitalize the first letter of the direct quote. -When the
quoted material is a fragment or a segment of the
original sentence, do not capitalize the first letter of the
direct quote.

Capitalization
3. Capitalize the first letter of the
person’s job, title or positions.

Ex. I interviewed Chief Executive

Officer Jennifer Santos.

Note: The capitalization of job titles, you should always

capitalize the job title when it comes immediately before
the person's name, in a formal context, in a direct
address, in a resume heading, or as part of a signature
line. It should not generally be capitalized if it comes
after the person's name, or if there is a “the” before it.

months and holidays.

and Fridays.

capitalize the months and days, no matter where they

5. Always capitalize the pronoun I,
no matter where it falls.

Ex. I went to a birthday party last

Saturday.

Note: Pronouns include I, you, and me. Though you and

me are normally lowercase, the pronoun I should
always be capitalized, regardless of where it appears in
a sentence because it replaces the speaker's name, and
because names are always capitalized then ‘I’ should be.
