Capitalising titles

Key Notes:

  • Titles are names of books, movies, stories, songs, and other important works.

  • Capitalize the first and last word of the title.
  • Capitalize all the main words in between, such as nouns (person, place, thing), verbs (action words), adjectives (describing words), and adverbs (words that describe actions).

  • Do not capitalize short words like:
    • Articles (a, an, the)
    • Conjunctions (and, but, or)
    • Prepositions (in, on, of, with) unless they are the first or last word of the title.

  • “The Cat in the Hat”
  • “Charlotte’s Web”
  • “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”

  • Always capitalize the first and last words, no matter what type of word it is.
  • Main words like nouns and verbs should always be capitalized.
  • Small connecting words like “and,” “of,” and “in” are usually lowercase, unless they are at the beginning or end.
