Elizabethan drama-Should drama be capitalized
Martin Luther King Day-Shouldn't Day be capitalized because it is a holiday
If you could give me whole sentences, all would be clearer.
Just looking at fragments, I'd say no capital on "drama" and, yes, the capital on "Day."
It is not used in a sentence.
elizabethan drama- I need to tell if either word needs to be capitalized.
Only Elizabethan.
Thanks!
In English grammar, the general rule is that proper nouns, including titles, should be capitalized. However, there are a few specific guidelines to follow when capitalizing certain words within a title.
Regarding your first question about Elizabethan drama, both words "Elizabethan" and "drama" should be capitalized. "Elizabethan" is a proper adjective derived from the name of a specific historical period, while "drama" is a noun that forms part of the title.
In the case of Martin Luther King Day, the word "Day" should indeed be capitalized. Although "day" is a common noun, it is capitalized here because it is part of the title "Martin Luther King Day," which is named after a specific holiday. The word "Day" is considered important and distinctive enough to be capitalized within the title.
To determine whether a specific word within a title should be capitalized or not, it is always helpful to consider the general rules of capitalization along with any specific guidelines related to titles and headings.
