Skills in focus:

  • In Standard English, we capitalize the first letter of a word in the following circumstances:

    • The first word of a sentence 

    • Proper nouns: Names a specific noun, such as a person or a place

      • We do not capitalize common nouns, which are generic names for a class or group.

    • Proper adjectives: Adjectives whose description is based on a proper noun, such as a place or person

      • An adjective is a word that describes a noun.

      • We do not capitalize common adjectives, even if they describe a proper noun.

  • We capitalize these words because doing so signals they are important and unique people and places.
