Homework Help Forum: 4th grade English

Posted by Tracy on Thursday, September 10, 2009 at 11:19pm.

Would building be capitalized when used in a sentence as Empire State Building?

  • 4th grade English - Mr. L, Friday, September 11, 2009 at 12:23am

    In this case the whole phrase Empire Satte Building is a proper noun. No one mentions,"have you been to the Empire State in N.Y.C.?". Therefore Building is part of the whole proper noun and must be capitalized as a proper noun should be.
