Learning Objective
I can apply standard capitalization rules in my writing.
- 1
The M.I.N.T.S. acronym helps remember capitalization rules, where 'M' stands for months and days of the week, and 'I' stands for the pronoun I.
- 2
The 'N' in M.I.N.T.S. reminds us to capitalize the names of people, places, and specific things.
- 3
For 'T' in M.I.N.T.S., capitalize the first word, last word, and all important words in titles, and 'S' means to capitalize the first word at the start of every sentence.
