Rule 1: Capitalize the first word of a quoted sentence.
Examples:
He said, "Treat her as you would your own daughter."
"Look out!" she screamed. "You almost ran into my child."
Rule 2: Capitalize a proper noun (a specific name given to a general noun). Use this pattern sentence to check: *Our ____ is called ____. The first blank is a general noun, the second is a specific name and should be capitalized. *Our city is called Midland.Example: Golden Gate Bridge, New York City, Times Square, Wall Street, Dow Jones, Cleopatra Jones, Queen Elizabeth, Pulitzer Prize, Academy Award, Nobel Peace PrizeRule 8: Always capitalize the first and last words of titles of publications regardless of their parts of speech. Capitalize other words within titles, including the short verb forms Is, Are, and Be. Exception: Do not capitalize little words within titles such as a, an, the, but, as, if, and, or, nor, or prepositions, regardless of their length.Examples: The Day of the Jackal What Color Is Your Parachute?

(She practices AS THOUGH HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. [how she practices])Rule for combining sentences (FANBOYS)Two independent clauses (sentences) must be joined with a semicolon (;) or a comma followed by a FANBOY (look at the yellow wall).Another rule for combining sentences (introductory clauses)When a sentence begins with an introductory clause (a clause is followed by a comma and does not make sense by itself. Introductory clauses begin with words like: since, because, in addition to, when), try this trick: take everything after the comma and move it to the beginning of the sentence. Does it still make since? For example: Because it was cold outside, Jack decided to wear his jacket. Jack decided to wear his jacket because it was cold outside.What are the "FANBOYS"?Conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, sohyphenated words: Two or more adjectives before a noun that act as one idea (one-thought adjectives) are connected with a hyphen.Examples: This is a low-budget job. [The sense is not: this is a low job and a budget job. The words low and budget are linked into the single concept of "low-budget."] She was just a regular down-to-earth type of gal.3 requirements for adjectival clause1. contains a subject and verb. 2. begins with a relative pronoun [who, whom, whose, that, or which] or a relative adverb [when, where, or why]. 3. functions as an adjective (remember: adjectives describe nouns, so the clause will follow the noun it is describing), answering the questions What kind?
