Fascinating Fact:

Titles with names take capitals. Example: Queen Elizabeth, Doctor Khan, Captain Cook.

In 11 Plus English, titles are capitalised when they come before a name, because the whole phrase acts like a proper noun. Used alone in a general sense, the title is usually lowercase.

Key Terms

  • Title: A word showing rank or role, such as Doctor, Captain, or Queen.
  • Proper noun: A specific name that takes a capital letter, like Maya or London.
  • Capitalisation: The rule for using capital letters at the start of important words or names.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Do job titles need capital letters in English?

Capitalize a job title when it comes before a name, for example Doctor Khan. Use lowercase when it is used generally, for example Khan is a doctor.

Write Queen with a capital when it is part of a title or used as a specific title, for example Queen Elizabeth or the Queen. Otherwise write queen in lowercase.

Write languages with capitals, for example English and French. Other subjects are lowercase unless part of a course title, for example History of Art.
