CAPITALIZATION
(APA STYLE)
In APA style, you will most likely need to describe a number of tests,
measures, theories and among other things. Your first impulse
might be to capitalize everything because you will use specific
names, but capitalization is not always acceptable. Here is a brief
guide to capitalize in APA.
Words Beginning a
Sentence
➢ Use a capital letter to begin a sentence.
e.g:
1. The man arrived. He sat down.
2. The floor caved in.
3. No one responded to the final question of the test.
➢ Use a capital letter of the first word of every direct quotation.

e.g:
1. He said, “We have jogged two miles.”
2. My mother said, “I feel great.”
Use a capital letter for
personal
➢ Use a capital letter for personal pronoun “I”.
e.g:
1. I have done my best.
2. What can I say?
3. Am I right?
