Capitalization and Sentence Beginnings Rule Always capitalize the first word in a sentence. Capitalizing the first letter alerts the reader that a new thought has begun in conjunction with end punctuation. Examples In the winter, I enjoy skiing. Sometimes, I’ll try snowboarding. However, I am not very good at it yet.

Capitalization and Colons Rule Capitalize the first letter of a sentence if two or more sentences follow the quotation. Do NOT capitalize if a list follows a colon. Examples Christmas is my favorite holiday: Nothing better exists than spending time with friends. Addressing holiday cards really brings out the season! This holiday I plan to: shop online, celebrate with family and eat too many cookies.

Capitalization and Semicolons Rule Do not capitalize an independent clause that follows a semicolon. Examples Fall is my favorite season; the changing leaves are just beautiful. Dogs make great pets; they are loyal, friendly and smart.
