While each style guide <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/has-vs-have/">has</a> their own rules and criteria, <em>The Chicago Manual</em>, for example, suggests capitalizing after a colon where two independent <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/clauses/">clauses</a> or complete sentences follow a colon.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="are-the-names-of-seasons-or-holidays-capitalized"></span>Are the names of seasons or holidays capitalized?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3> <p>While it might seem counterintuitive, the names of <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/are-seasons-capitalized/">seasons</a> are considered common nouns, and so write the names of seasons in lowercase.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span class="ez-toc-section" id="in-review"></span>In Review<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2> <p><strong>Q</strong>: Are days of the week capitalized?</p> <p><strong>Answer</strong>: Yes, each day of the week is a proper noun, and proper nouns use capital letters.</p> <p>No matter where the days of the week appear in a sentence, even if they appear multiple times, they are capitalized. If the day of the week is <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/used-to/">used to</a> start a sentence, naturally the starting letter is in capitals.</p> <p>If days of the week is the first word used within a quotation or quoted sentence: <strong><em>capitalize</em></strong>. If the initial words on a list or bullet are the days of the week: <strong><em>capitalize</em></strong>.</p> <p>The days of the week appears in the title of a book or article? Capitalize. Interestingly, in this case, it <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/would-vs-will/">would</a> be a compounded proper noun; as both titles and weekdays are proper nouns.</p> <p><strong>First rule</strong>: Capitalize days of the week because they’re proper nouns; and each day of the week specifies a single point in time, or in this case: a single date in the history of all <a href="https://grammarbrain.com/how-to-write-dates/">dates</a>. See this sentence:</p> <p>“This <strong>Monday</strong> <strong>September</strong> 19, 2022, <strong>I</strong> wrote an article on whether to capitalize the days of the week.”</p> <p>Essentially, anytime days of the week come to mind: <strong><em>capitalize</em></strong>.</p> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Check out a previous article!</h4> <p>Want to continue learning the different rules of grammar?
