Thursday DGP Notes Punctuation and Capitalization

Capitalization Capitalize proper nouns: Days of the week, months, holidays, historical events, etc. Names of people, companies, organizations, etc. Names of states, countries, cities, islands, bodies of water, mountains, streets, parks, stores, etc. Nationalities, races, religions Brand names of products

Capitalization, continued… Titles of books, magazines, stories, poems, songs, etc. Names of ships, trains, monuments, planets, etc. Always capitalize the word I. Capitalize the first word of each sentence. Capitalize the first word of a quotation.

Semicolon Joins two clauses without a coordinating conjunction – He likes apples; she likes oranges. Can be used in series with commas for clarity – We went to London, England; Paris, France; Madrid, Spain; and Rome, Italy. Can be used in a compound complex sentence that already contains other commas – If you understand this rule, you can use it; and youll seem very smart.

Apostrophe Use apostrophes to make words possessive and to make contractions. Dont use apostrophes to make words plural. Possessive pronouns dont use apostrophes. Be sure you have a real word before your apostrophe: childrens toys, not childrens toys.

Apostrophe, continued… If you word is plural and ends in s, add apostrophe only: dogs owners. Treat singular nouns ending in s just like any other singular noun. Bosss

Underlining/italicizing Underlining and italicizing are the same thing. Underline or italicize titles of long things: newspapers, magazines, CDs, movies, novels, etc Underline or italicize names of ships, planes, trains and artwork. Underline or italicize foreign expressions.

Quotation Marks Quote titles of short things: short stories, poems, songs, etc. Quote dialogue and words copied from other sources. Commas and periods that follow quoted words always go inside closing quotation marks. Use single quotation marks only to enclose quotes within quotes.
