π Topic Summary
Title capitalization means we use capital letters for most of the important words in a title. Think of it like giving those words a little boost! We usually capitalize the first word, the last word, and all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. We don't usually capitalize articles (a, an, the), short prepositions (like in, on, at), or coordinating conjunctions (like and, but, or) unless they are the first or last word in the title.
These rules make it easier to read and understand what the title is about, and also make your writing look polished and professional!
