OpenStudy (inowalst):

No problem.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Nouns name people, places, and things. Every noun can further be classified as common or proper. A proper noun has two distinctive features: 1) it will name a specific [usually a one-of-a-kind] item, and 2) it will begin with a capital letter no matter where it occurs in a sentence.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Vera has a point though. I mean all of these questions ask the same thing, just different examples.

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

If you read that ^ then you should not be asking any more questions about proper capitalization in sentences @logan13
