Spelling Rules


Capitalization


In English, we use capital letter with names of months, days of the week and festivals:

  • Her birthday is in April.
  • Her classes are on Saturday.
  • Christmas is on December 25.
Other words that are capitalized in English are names of countries and cities, names of nationalities and languages, the pronoun I, the first word of a sentence, the main words in titles, and the people’s names:

  • Candy and Sandy live in Los Angeles.
  • My grandmother was from Kenya.
  • Do you speak Chinese, Eliza?
  • He’s wearing the sweater I gave him.
  • Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez are coming over for dinner on Thursday night.
  • Do you ever watch “Friend?”
  • You know, I’ve never seen the movie “The Godfather.”
  • Two of my students are Brazilian.
