I focused on the nitty-gritty here, and I've only given you six main rules
and a few sub-rules to remember.
1. Capitalize Proper Nouns &
Proper Adjectives
Proper nouns are nouns that name specific people, places, or things.
James, Paris, Colorado, Costa Rica
Proper adjectives are adjectives that are formed from proper nouns.
Proper Nouns: Spain, Ireland, Italy
Proper Adjectives: Spanish, Irish, Italian
Sometimes, it can be hard to know when a word is being used as a
proper noun or not. Here are a few more tips that will help you.
A. Capitalize words that show a family relationship when you use
them with a person's name.
Uncle Jack, Grandma Marge, Papa Phil
* Don't capitalize words that show a family relationship when
you use them after a possessive pronoun.
my mother, his sister, our grandma
B. Capitalize the names of school subjects only when you use
them to refer to a specific course.

2. Capitalize the First Word in
Every Sentence
That is one of the easiest capitalization rules to remember. The only
trouble comes when you can't tell where one sentence ends and another
begins.
Wrong -->
I would love to eat ice cream tonight because it is so yummy my
favorite flavor is chocolate.

My sister asked, "Where are my shoes?"
A. If the quotation is not meant to stand alone and is only a
sentence fragment, you don't need to capitalize it.
My sister claims that I "did not do the dishes correctly.”
4. Capitalize the First and Last
Words of Titles & Every Word
Between Except Articles & Short,
Unimportant Words
Wow. That was long. Do this for titles of books, poems, stories, movies,
paintings, and magazines.
When the above rule says not to capitalize articles, it's referring to a
specific kind of adjective called an article. The articles are a, an, and the.
Reader's Digest (magazine)
“I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” (poem)
The Lord of the Rings (movie)

pronoun, you capitalize it. Note that this does not apply to any other
pronoun,
