| Capitalization: Time and Season by David Felts |
|
| Capitalizing time and season correctly gives your reader
a clear sense of time in a piece of writing.
Capitalize holidays, days of the week, and months. Ex: Return the books by Labor Day to avoid a late fee. Names of seasons do not need to be capitalized. Ex: Ellen will return to Maine in the fall. |
