Do you capatalize all the words in title of an essay?

You don't capitalize all the words in an essay title. Here's how to do it:

* Capitalize the first word of the title.

* Capitalize all major words.

* Capitalize proper nouns (names of people, places, etc.).

For example:

* This is a Sample Essay Title (Correct)

* this is a sample essay title (Incorrect)

* The Importance of Proper Punctuation (Correct)

* the importance of proper punctuation (Incorrect)

There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as:

* Prepositions: You don't usually capitalize prepositions (like "of," "to," "in," "on," "by") unless they are the first word of the title.

* Conjunctions: You don't usually capitalize conjunctions (like "and," "but," "or") unless they are the first word of the title.

* Articles: You don't usually capitalize articles (like "a," "an," "the") unless they are the first word of the title.

It's always a good idea to check your style guide (like MLA or APA) for specific rules about capitalization.
