Capitalize the first, last, and important words in a title. Important words include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, and more. So, generally, these parts of speech are capitalized in titles:
- Nouns
- Adjectives
- Verbs
- Adverbs
- Pronouns
- Subordinating conjunctions
Words with less than five letters, are lowercase in titles, unless they are the first or last words.
Generally, do not capitalize:
- Articles
- Coordinating Conjunctions (fewer than five letters)
- Prepositions (fewer than five letters)
General rule recommended by The U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual: Capitalize all words in titles except a, an, the, at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up, and, as, but, or, and nor.
