    Capitalization: Titles, Outlines &

    Quotations
    By Javy
    Titles require special capitilization. We capitilize
    the following:
    1. The first and last words of a title
    2. All verbs (action or being words)
    3. All other words in the title except certain short
    words
    A preposition with five or more letters (such as
    outside, underneath, between, etc.)

    The Lost Man
    The Mystical Wonders
    The Kids New Toy

    Although, words like a ,an, and, the, but, or, for, nor, and
    Prepositions with four letters or fewer do not need a capital letter.
    Of, With, At, In, On, For, But, By, etc
    NOTE: the is not capitalized when it is not the first letter of the
    Title.
    OUTLINES
    We learn to organize written material by outlining.
    Outlines require capital letters for the Roman numerals and for the
    letters of the first major topics. We also capitalize the first letter of the
    first word in the outline.
    I. Tragedues by William Shakespeare
    A. Antony and Cleopatra
    B. Julius Caesar
    II. Comedies by Javier Cortes
    A. The Taming of the Shrew
    B. The Merchant of Venice
    Quotations
    We capitalize the first word of a dialogue quotation, as shown below.
    Ex.:

    Professor Falstaff inquired, Have you finished
    reading The Old Curiosity Shop?

    Nell quipped, Of course not. Its one thousand
    Pages long!
