Capitalization Rules and Practice
As a general rule, capitalize proper nouns – proper nouns name a specific person, place, thing or idea
Rules 1 - 3
1. Always capitalize the first word of a sentence or direct quotation.
Example:
Damian said, "Let's go to the park."
2. Always capitalize the pronoun, "I."
Example:
He asked if I wanted to go to the park.
3. Capitalize most words in the titles of books, magazines, newspapers, articles, stories, essays, plays, poems, works of art, musical compositions, films, and television programs. Do not capitalize articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, or the to of an infinitive (to know) unless they are the first or last words in a title or subtitle.
Example:
I love the movie "Running on Empty," but I truly dislike "The Nightmare on Elm Street."
