  • Check to make sure you have appropriately capitalized proper nouns and proper adjectives.
  • Review titles of people or of works to be sure you have capitalized them correctly.
  • Double-check the capitalization of geographic directions (north or North?), family relationships (dad or Dad?), and seasons of the year (winter, not Winter).
