What To Capitalize In Titles

293 views

I understand that you are supposed to capitalize the first letter, as well as “main” words. What I don’t quite get is what am I supposed to not capitalize. Especially, verbs and prepositions.

To? In? Through? Except? Are? Is? Into?

In: 15

Many people have much more elaborate answers that I could provide. Style guides are good. The one thing I do have to add is that I was taught that if you follow the the rules and all of the words are capitalized except one that you should capitalize it as well. So “Cat in the Hat” is the “correct” way to capitalize that title but if the article “the” were not present, I was taught that the title should be “Cat In Hat”. I am not saying I am right, I am saying this is what I was taught.
