Lesson 6:Capital Letters on Our Calendar
Key Rules for Capitalization
Days of the Week
Examples: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Do not capitalize words like yesterday, tomorrow, or today unless they are part of a title or begin a sentence.
Always capitalize the days of the week because they are proper nouns.
Date
Do not capitalize written dates unless they begin a sentence.
Examples: January tenth is tomorrow.
November eighteenth is her birthday.
Month of the Year
Always capitalize months of the year because they are proper nouns.
Examples: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December
If the word "day" is part of the holiday name (e.g., Labor Day, New Year's Day), capitalize it too.
Holiday
Capitalize the names of holidays because they are proper nouns.
Examples: Mother's Day, Veteran's Day, Christmas, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving
If the word "day" is part of the holiday name (e.g., Labor Day, New Year's Day), capitalize it too.
Notes
Proper nouns name specific people, places, or things and are always capitalized.
Holidays are special days often celebrated with unique traditions. For example, Thanksgiving in the U.S. is a day to thank God and remember the Pilgrims' struggles.
