Capitalization means writing the first letter of certain words with a capital (uppercase) letter. In English, we always capitalize the names of days, months, and holidays.
Capitalize the names of days, months, and holidays, but do not capitalize the names of seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter) unless they begin a sentence.
Capitalization shows that these words are proper nouns. Proper nouns name specific people, places, or special things. Using capital letters helps readers recognize them quickly.
Ask yourself: “Is this a day, month, or holiday?” If yes, then capitalize the first letter.
Here are some of the most common days, months, and holidays that must always be capitalized:
Make a habit of checking your sentences. If you see a day, month, or holiday, the first letter should be uppercase.
Good writers always use correct capitalization. Days, months, and holidays are special words that stand out when capitalized, making your writing correct and professional.
Remember: Capitalization rules help readers know which words are important and make your writing easier to understand.
