Do you need capitals for names in French?

Yes, French uses capital letters for names just like English does. Here's a breakdown:

* Proper nouns: These include names of people, places, days of the week, months, holidays, languages, nationalities, religions, and specific organizations.

* People: Jean-Pierre, Marie Curie,

* Places: Paris, la Seine,

* Days: lundi (Monday), mardi (Tuesday)

* Months: janvier (January), février (February)

* Holidays: Noël (Christmas), Pâques (Easter)

* Languages: français (French), anglais (English)

* Nationalities: française (French), américain (American)

* Religions: le catholicisme (Catholicism), l'islam (Islam)

* Organizations: l'ONU (United Nations), la NASA (NASA)

* Titles: When used before a name, titles like "Monsieur" (Mr.), "Madame" (Mrs./Ms.), "Mademoiselle" (Miss) are capitalized.

* Nouns that are normally lowercase in English may be capitalized when referring to specific entities:

* le Louvre: (The Louvre Museum)

* la Sorbonne: (The Sorbonne University)

Important Exceptions:

* Days of the week and months are not capitalized when used as part of a date. For example: "le 15 juillet" (July 15th)
