RECYCLING-7 (CAPITAL LETTERS IN ENGLISH): meaning and examples
Good morning. I hope all of you had a good weekend.
Before beginning, I would like to welcome all of the new Daily Vitamin recipients that have joined us in the last few days. I sincerely hope that the content of the Daily Vitamins helps you to stay in contact with English and learn a little every day.
As I always say, one of the most difficult things about learning a language is maintaining what you have already learned. Therefore, recycling and revision should be a very important part of any learner's daily activity.
Today's content was originally covered last January. I hope seeing it again will help you to remember the important differences between English and Spanish/Catalan with respect to capital letters.
Remember that in English there are many words that begin with CAPITAL LETTERS that don't in Spanish or Catalan. Following are some of the most common cases.
In English we always capitalise
Names of Languages: Spanish, English, French, German, etc. (NOT english, spanish.)
Nationalities: American, English, South African, European, etc. (NOT american, english.)
Days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, etc. (NOT monday, tuesday.)
Months of the year: January, February, March, April, May, etc. (NOT january, february.)
Enjoy the rest of your day!
