In addition to their similar pronunciations, they are often used in similar contexts, further adding to confusion.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-339" src="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/capital-versus-capitol.png" alt="capital versus capitol" width="750" height="208" srcset="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/capital-versus-capitol.png 750w, http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/capital-versus-capitol-300x83.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px" /></p> <p><em>Capital </em>is a noun that refers to a capital city in a state, province, region, or country.</p> <ul> <li>The capital of the United States is Washington.</li> </ul> <p>A <em>capitol </em>is the specific building where laws are made in a state, province, or country.</p> <ul> <li>The <em>capitol </em>building in Washington is where the Congress meets.</li> </ul> <h2>When to Use Capital in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Capital Meaning: </strong><em>Capital </em>refers to the primary city of a region or country where government functions are carried out.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>The capital of Australia is Canberra. [Noun]</p> <p><em>Capital </em>can also be used to describe wealth, usually that which is used for the continued operations of a business.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example:</strong> The merger of the companies was the result of increased capital. [Noun]</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>I didn’t have enough capital to get a loan for the investment. [Noun]</p> <p>In addition to both of these uses as a noun, <em>capital</em> can also function as an adjective.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>This clause began with a capital “T.”</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“That disparity is a microcosm of one of the key flaws of capital punishment.” [Adjective] Source: <a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2019-11-12/rod-reed-ray-cromartie-kardashian-injustice-capital-punishment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L.A. Times</a></p> <p>As you can see, <em>capital </em>can be two different parts of speech – a noun or an adjective – but it has two different uses as a noun. It can either refer to a city that is the politically most important place of a geographic region, or it refers to money and other measures of wealth.</p> <h2>Phrases that Use Capital</h2> <p>There aren’t many common phrases that use <em>capital, </em>although it is important to known that the noun is much more common than the adjective form.<strong> </strong></p> <h2>When to Use Capitol in a Sentence</h2> <p><strong>Capitol Meaning: </strong><em>Capitol</em> is only used to refer to the primary building where government activity takes place.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Example: </strong>“Cummings, who died on October 17, was lying state inside the U.S. Capitol on Thursday.” [Noun] Source: <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/10/24/elijah-cummings-death-baltimore-lawmaker-lie-state-capitol/4069903002/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a></p> <p>It is important to remember that when used with a specific country, <em>capitol </em>is always capitalized.</p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><strong>Examples: </strong>“The U.S. Capitol,” “The Argentine Capitol,” and “The Canadian Capitol” are three examples.</p> <h2>Phrases That Use Capitol</h2> <p>Capitol is not used in any common phrases, but it is worth noting that the plot of land on which the U.S. Capitol building and its adjacent office buildings are located is called Capitol Hill.</p> <ul> <li>The lawmakers met this week on Capitol Hill.</li> </ul> <p>This is sometimes mistakenly spelling <em>Capital Hill</em>.</p> <h2>Capital or Capitol – Keeping Them Straight</h2> <p>Although capitol is directly related to capital in most contexts and both words are usually nouns, they mean different things.</p> <p>Since a <strong><em>capitol </em></strong>is located in a <strong><em>capital</em></strong>, the two words are often confused. Thankfully there are a few different ways to remember the difference.</p> <p>For instance, it may help to remember that the U.S. Capitol building has a circular dome and that <em>capitol </em>has a letter “o” that is similar to that dome.</p> <p>Also, remember that capital can be used as an adjective to describe something extreme, as in “capital punishment.” To make things a bit easier, think of <em>capital </em>with the initials “CBM,” which stands for “city,” “money,” and “bad.”</p> <h2>Test Your Knowledge</h2> <p>Use either <strong><em>capital </em></strong>or <strong><em>capitol </em></strong>correctly in each sentence.</p> <ul> <li>Pierre is the ________ of South Dakota, but it is not the state’s largest city.</li> <li>A memorial was held in the rotunda of the _________.</li> <li>In must jurisdictions, murder is a _________ offense.</li> <li>The amount of ________ he possessed was enough to make him a millionaire.</li> <li>The opposition group traveled to the nation’s __________ to hold a protest on the steps of the ___________.</li> </ul> <p>See the answers below.</p> <h2>Recap: When to use Capital or Capitol</h2> <p>These two words are often confused because they sound alike and because the most common meaning of <em>capital </em>is connected to <em>capitol’s </em>definition.</p> <p>Just remember, <em>capital </em>can refer to a city, wealth or money, or as an adjective to describe something that is extreme or even bad.</p> <ul> <li><em>Capital </em>is usually a noun that refers to a city or wealth and money, but it can also be used as an adjective.</li> <li><em>Capitol </em>always refers to the building that is the seat of government in a government jurisdiction.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Answers:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Capital</strong></li> <li><strong>Capitol</strong></li> <li><strong>Capital</strong></li> <li><strong>Capital</strong></li> <li><strong>Capital and Capitol </strong></li> </ul> </div> </article> </main> </div> <aside id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary"> <section id="search-2" class="widget widget_search"><form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/"> <label> <span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span> <input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Search …" value="" name="s" /> </label> <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="Search" /> </form></section> <section id="recent-posts-2" class="widget widget_recent_entries"> <h2 class="widget-title">Recent Posts</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/led-vs-lead">Led vs. Lead – How to Choose Your Words Correctly</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/foreword-vs-forward">Foreword vs. Forward – How to Choose Your Words Correctly</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/dual-vs-duel">Dual vs. Duel – How to Choose Your Words Correctly</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/course-vs-coarse">Course vs. Coarse – How to Choose Your Words Correctly</a> </li> <li> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/capital-vs-capitol">Capital vs. Capitol – How to Choose Your Words Correctly</a> </li> </ul> </section><section id="nav_menu-2" class="widget widget_nav_menu"><h2 class="widget-title">Writing Help</h2><div class="menu-sidebar-nav-container"><ul id="menu-sidebar-nav" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-132" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-132"><a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/literary-devices">Literary Devices</a></li> <li id="menu-item-133" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-133"><a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/confusing-english-words">Commonly Confused English Words</a></li> </ul></div></section><section id="nav_menu-3" class="widget widget_nav_menu"><h2 class="widget-title">Blogging Help</h2><div class="menu-blogging-guide-container"><ul id="menu-blogging-guide" class="menu"><li id="menu-item-336" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-336"><a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/how-to-start-a-blog">How to Get Started Blogging</a></li> </ul></div></section></aside> </div> </div> <footer id="colophon" class="site-footer" role="contentinfo"> <div class="top-footer wow fadeInUp"> <div class="ak-container"> <div class="social-icons"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="site-info"> <div class="ak-container"> <span class="footer-text"> <a href="http://www.woodheadpublishing.com/">Home</a> -
