Title

I have not had an opportunity to write a title in English until I begin posting on here, so I didn't know the rules of how I write it. I can't say I completely understand yet. Come to think of it, why are there capital letters and lowercase letters in English. It's interesting.


ここに投稿し始めるまで、英語でタイトルを書く機会がなかったので、書き方のルールを知りませんでした。まだ完全に理解できているとは言えませんが。考えてみれば、英語にはなぜ大文字と小文字があるんでしょう?面白いですね。

Corrections

I have not had an opportunity to write a title in English until I begin posting on here, so I didn't know the rules of how I(to / I should) write it.

"rules of how I should write it" is pretty formal, while "rules of how to write it" is more suitable for standard or casual use.

A lot of languages written with the Latin alphabet have capital and lower case letters. I think Cyrillic has them too.

Capital letters are mostly used to make things stand out. That's why they're often used in titles, and also why they're used for "proper nouns" or nouns that name specific things like a specific person or a specific place. This is something that changed in the past. In the 1700s for example, most nouns were capitalised, which is more like how German still does it today.

In some ways it's just a pattern to make it easier for people to recognize things that fit into the pattern, the same way that for example Japanese uses katakana for loan words or that verbs in Japanese end in う sounds.

One relatively recent development is the rise of more casual titles. These are titles that are in sentence case rather than title case. Like people giving titles to messages on websites or giving titles to emails don't always use title case (actually I'd say they don't most of the time), while "formal" contexts like academic writing or books or newspaper articles still do.

I have nodidn't hadve any opportunity to write a title in English until I begin posting on here, so I didn't know the rules of how I should write it.

"didn't have" sounds a little smoother, and it has the same meaning in this case.

I think we just have lowercase and uppercase letters to make it easier to read. And capital letters are an easy way to show the importance of something, or how it's different from other things around it.

Hi so in order to write a title correctly in English take care of these points.
1-Always captilize the first word of a title, the last word of a title. As well as nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs

2-Lowercase articles such as (a, an, the)
Conjunctions(and, but, for, or, nor)
Prepositions(on, at, in, to, by, etc.). However, if they come as the first or last word you captilize them.

3-In hyphenated words, usually both words are capitalized such as Long-Term memory.

I hope I explained it well.
