Answer 10

Please note: normally, pronouns found in mid-sentence are not capitalized.

If a pronoun begins a sentence, that 's an exception. He loves her. He is capitalized because it begins the sentence; her is not capitalized.

Answer 11

oh ok then

Answer 12

Is one D

Answer 13

so its A,B.and C right

Answer 14

Dahaba...its 1,2 and 3. Because days of the week is always capital...names are always caipital...bands and teams thing like that is capital

Answer 15

Please, Dahaba, do not continue to ask, "Is it a, is it b, etc." Instead, please explain your reasoning. Why do you think " a " is correctly capitalized?

Answer 16

D is not

Answer 17

You do not capitalize directions such as west south east or north

Answer 18

Please let Dahaba explain his or her reasoning and do not jump in saying "correct" or not "correct."
We want Dahaba to learn how to screen these sentences himself and make his own decisions about correctness of lack of correctness. Thank you.

Answer 19

How would Dhaba know if he or she is correct if they don't know what to look for

Answer 20

Exactly. It's y our job to help him learn what to look for.

Answer 21

Therefore telling what is wrong and right will lead them to the correct answer

Answer 22

Exactly. Good point. What should he be looking for?

Answer 23

He should look for proper nouns just as I had stated...Names of people...Names of organizations such as teams or bands or buildings or restuarants...Dates such as months and days of the week.

Answer 24

i think it is ABD cuz A.has Music Pink and Blue as a name
B. English bulldog, is a name 4 a dog
D.Sawmill and West are places or name

Answer 25

yes, and seasons of the year.

Answer 26

yah ok then

Answer 27

West in that sentence is stated as direction so D is incorrect. Directions are not proper nouns

Answer 28

Capitalize north, south, east, west, and derivative words when they designate definite regions or are an integral part of a proper name. Do not capitalize these words when they merely indicate direction or general location

Answer 29

oh i see

Answer 30

If you take the highway West out of town, you will find the abandoned Sawmill that used to employ many people. Actually, I see TWO errors here. Can you spot them?

Answer 31

that west is not a proper noun

Answer 32

what else??

Answer 33

Hint: Look for capitals

Answer 34

Hint: I drove west (that is, in a westerly direction) to reach the Far West of the USA.

Answer 35

Here, "west" is an adverb modifying "drove," and West is ... what?

Answer 36

this is too confusing

Answer 37

Yes, there's surely a lot of detail here.

Answer 38

Should "cousin" be capitalized? Why or why not?

Answer 39

Is "Sawmill" a place name, or just an object? Is "Sawmill" a proper noun or not?

Answer 40

Is "fall" the name of a season, or is it a happening, as in "I tripped and took a great fall?"

Answer 41

Were it up to me, I'd write

Georgia O'Keeffe's painting Music Pink and Blue shows how the artist views the Southwest landscape" as:

Georgia O'Keeffe's painting Music Pink and Blue shows how the artist views the landscape of the Southwest.

Answer 42

I'll stop now, before you become overwhelmed with information. Dan and Loving have both given you some good criteria for capitalizing words.

Answer 43

In the end you must decide which sentences are properly capitalized and which are not. Cross out the ones that are not. This will reduce the number of choices you face.

Answer 44

half of the stuff you said are to complicated.Im dying over here

Answer 45

Capitalization: The Days Of The Week, The Months Of The Year, And Holidays (But Not The Seasons Used Generally) Days, months, and holidays are always capitalized as these are proper nouns.

I think you will best understand what they mean from this site

Answer 47

"A.has Music Pink and Blue as a name. True. What about Southwest?

"B. English bulldog, is a name 4 a dog .... English would be capitalized because England is a country, and the dog breed "bulldog" comes from that country.

Nice reference, Dan.
