Grammar Flashcard: Titles

Titles of newspapers should be italicized, e.g., *The Atlanta Journal Constitution*.

Titles of magazines should be italicized, e.g., On Thursday we read *Time for Kids Magazine*.

The first and last words of a title, as well as all major words, should be capitalized, e.g., 'Harold and the Purple Crayon'.

Book titles should be italicized, e.g., A favorite book in our class is *The Lightning Thief*.

Titles of books should be italicized, e.g., *The Cat in the Hat*.

Italics are used for longer works like books and newspapers, while quotation marks are used for shorter works like articles and poems.

Major words in a title include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions.

A subtitle is a secondary title that provides additional information about the main title.

The main title is italicized, followed by a colon and the subtitle in regular font, e.g., *The Cat in the Hat: A Story of Fun*.

Italics help to distinguish titles from the rest of the text, indicating that they are titles of works.
