Lecture 2.2 Capitalizing Names and Titles

Capitalize the specific names of people and pets.
My cousin Umeko moved here from Japan.
We named the puppy George.
A title is a word that comes before a person's name. A title gives more information about who a person is. Titles that come before a name are capitalized.

Grandpa Bruce Aunt Juliet
Captain Albrecht President Abraham Lincoln
Senator Barbara Boxer Judge Naser
Titles of respect are also capitalized.
Mr. Watterson Miss Newton Mrs. Cohen
Dr. Gupta Ms. Liang
Tip: If a title is not used with a name, it is not capitalized. My aunt is funny. The judge was here. But, if a title is used as a name, it is capitalized. Tell Mom I am going to the park. Grandpa will fix the computer.
