Example of Capitalization in English

In English capital letters are called “capital letters” and the rules of their use and their application are called “Capitalization”.

The rules of capitalization in English is very similar to what we do in Spanish, however, there are some details that we must take into account and not let them pass.

Rules for capitalization in English (Capitalization)

We will write capital letters at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph:

Wand begin so.

TOre you ready?

We will write capital letters after a period and followed by a final period and after the exclamation and question marks:

TOAfter the period we'll use a capital letter. This must do ever.

Dor will you catch it? II'm sure you do. Well done! Let’s follow.

We will use capital initials with proper names. In compound nouns, all words have a capital initial, except articles or conjunctions, unless they are at the beginning of the sentence or traditionally form part of the name:

Robert. Robert Smith. Robert Smith and Wesson.

Ti have ANDmpire State Building is in New York, not in Lyou TOangels.

Titles and honorary positions and their abbreviations are written with a capital initial when they are part of the name of the person we are talking about. Also included are Mr., Mrs., Miss (Mr., Mrs. And Miss):

During the war, Sgo Winston Churchill govern England with Y.M. (You Majesty) George VI.

Ph. Doctor, Mr. Steve Robertson.

Roman numerals are capitalized:

Pope john XIII.

The actual Great Britain governor, is Queen Elizabeth II.

The personal pronoun of the first person singular is always capitalized:

I am writing, I do it all the time.

II'm thinking II'll go to dinner some meat.

All acronyms and acronyms will be capitalized. Only plurals are excluded:

CD, DVD, NGO. CD’s, DVD’s, NGO’s.

OMG means Oh, My God!

The WHO is the World Health Organization of the United Nations.

The names of the days of the week, months, holidays and special events of the year are considered proper names in English, so they are always written with a capital initial:

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Gentilices are also written with a capital initial, regardless of whether they refer to people, races, tribes, nationalities or languages:

Korean doll, Chinese language, Japanese girl. Asiatic souvenirs.

My car is American, and my watch is Russian.

The names of the planets are also proper names, except for the sun and the moon. As for land, it has a capital initial when it is not preceded by an article:

We live in Earth. The earth is the third planet.

I wish to travel some day to Mars, Pluto, Alpha Centaury or above.

United States state abbreviations used for ZIP codes are also capitalized:

CA 93700

OH 43005

Although capital letters are used to highlight some phrases or texts, we must not forget that writing a text completely in capital letters unnecessarily, it is disrespectful to the reader, since it is equivalent to speaking to Screams.

Example of text with capitalization in English:

Alexander the Great borned in Macedonia around the year 356 B.C. He was son of the King Phillipus II of Macedonia and inherited the throne in 336 B.C. until his dead of him in 323 B.C.

In his youth he was educated by the Philosopher Aristotle, from he learned politic and elocuency. Since he was a child, he shows his fortress, sensitiveness, and ambition. He was so a great strategist, and one of the greatest conquerors of the antique world. His kingdom was from Egypt to Persia (today Iran). He founded around 70 cities, and near 50 take his name from him: Alexandria. In Egypt was one of the most famous Alexandrias. There was the most famous library of the ancient: the Real Alexandria’s Library. This library was destroyed in the year 391 A.C., and recently, in the same city in Egypt, UNESCO inaugurated the New Library of Alexandria (https://www.bibalex.org).
