Writing Teacher: Where to put Capital Letters.


 

Hi readers!

 

Today, I am going to teach you on “Where to put Capital Letters”. I got this note from a book teaching Writing Skills. Here are my notes:

 

Rules of Putting Capital Letters:

 

a)      The first word of the sentence must be capitalized.

e.g.: She is beautiful NOT she is beautiful.

  b)      The pronoun I or the contraction of I’m must be capitalized, it goes the same to  Abbreviation of A.D

e.g.: I am/I’m hungry NOT i am/i’m hungry

 

                   He was born before 1000 B.C 

c)      The first word of quotation must be capitalized.

e.g.: My dad said, “Don’t go there”.

 

d)      First word of partial quotation, never ever capitalized.

e.g.: He advised me not to be “the laziest boy” in his classroom.

 

e)      Proper Nouns and Adjectives.(a specific person,special events, names or places,products,buildings,etc).

            e.g.: Abraham Lincoln. Ridhuan, KLCC, Petronas Twin Towers,Nestle, Magee Mee.
