    Copy grammar rules in notebook:
    Rule 11 - Cap the first word of a salutation, and the first word of a complementary close.

    My dear Mr. Smith:


    Very truly yours,


    Rule 12 - Cap words derived from proper nouns.
    Example - I must take English and math.
    All languages are capitalized
    However you do cap a subject when it is followed by a number - Math 101.

    Journal #29 - Pretend that you are the ruler of the world what would you do with all that power?
    Copy grammar rules:
    7-Cap. titles of Publication except for a, an, the, but, as, if and or, nor and other little words when used internally.  Cap short verb forms such as, Is, Are, and Be.

    Example – What Color Is Your Parachute?

                     The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas

    Rule 8 The cap rules for state and federal continue to be hotly debated. Capitalizing the words state and federal, when referring to them as agencies, is optional. When state and federal are actual parts of the agencies’ names, capitalize. 

    Examples – The State has evidence to the contrary.

    That is a federal offense.

    Write down grammar rules:

    Rule 3. It is often requested that you capitalize a person’s title when it precedes the name. Do not capitalize when the title is acting as a description following the name.

    Examples: Chairperson Holmes or chairperson Holmes

    Mr. Holmes the chairperson of the company will address us at noon.

    Chairperson Holmes will address us at noon.

     

    Rule 4 – Cap when the person’s title follows the name on the address or signature line.

    Example – Sincerely,

           Mrs. Haines, Chairperson
