Sentence case<\/strong> is a capitalization style or set of rules describing when to use lowercase and uppercase letters in headings<\/a> and subheadings. Whether you are writing a research paper, a blog, or a newspaper article, you may have to decide which words need to be capitalized.<\/p>\n In English, the standard is to capitalize the first letter of a sentence. All other letters should be in lowercase with a few exceptions, such as proper nouns (e.g., \u201cTexas\u201d), abbreviations<\/a> (e.g., \u201cDr.\u201d), and acronyms<\/a> (e.g., \u201cNATO\u201d). Because this style follows the same capitalization rules as sentences, it is called \u201csentence case.\u201d<\/p>\n
