English Capitalization Rules
1. Capitalize the first word of a sentence.
This one's easy. Always capitalize the first word of a sentence.
Examples:
• The cat is sleeping. * Where did I put that book?
2. Capitalize names and other proper Nouns
You should always capitalize people's names.
Examples:
* My favorite author is Jane Austen. * Tom and Diane met at Judy's
house.
3. Don't capitalize after a colon (:).
In most cases, you don't need to capitalize after a colon.
Example:
I have one true passion: wombat racing.
There are a couple of common exceptions. One is when the word following the
colon is a proper noun.
Example:
There is only one place I want to visit: New York City.
The other exception is when the words following the colon form one or more
complete sentences,

C. the exposure of the earth is so hot
