FAQ
Are seasons capitalized in English?⌄
No — seasons (spring, summer, fall/autumn, winter) are common nouns and are NOT capitalized unless they begin a sentence or are personified in a creative context.
When are direction words like north, south, east, and west capitalized?⌄
Direction words are capitalized when they refer to a specific region or proper geographic area (the American South, the Pacific Northwest) but not when indicating general directions (drive north for two miles).
Are holidays always capitalized?⌄
Yes — holidays are proper nouns and are always capitalized (Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Hanukkah), though students sometimes incorrectly lowercase them, making this a worthwhile practice focus.
