Capital Letters are vital. Yes you probably learnt this in Year 1 or Reception but it's still something people first about.
You should always use a capital letter in the following situations:
In the names of people, places, or related words
Use a capital letter when you are writing the names of people, places, and words relating to them:
Africa African
Buddha Buddhism
Shakespeare Shakespearean
At the beginning of a sentence
The museum has huge potential. It will be a great boost to the area and we are really excited about it.
In the titles of books, films, organizations, etc.
Use a capital letter in the titles of books and other publications, films, organizations, special days, etc. In such cases, you need a capital letter for all the main words but not for the connecting words such as a, an, the, or, and, etc.:
Pride and Prejudice
Christmas Day
the Houses of Parliament.
For the letter I
In abbreviations
If you're using the first letter of the abbreviated words, every letter should be a capital, e.g.:
BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)
USA (United States of America)
MP (Member of Parliament)
People often don't use capital letters when they're writing emails or other informal messages, but it's important to use them in formal writing.
