Nouns are always written with a capital letter German.

Hello Heather, In German, we use capitals with these words: a) nouns: das Auto, die Frau, der Mann - b) the first word of each sentence: Ich möchte ein Auto kaufen. Gestern war Sonntag. c) months and seasons: der Winter ; der Sommer; der Januar /Februar... d) names: Heather, Manuela, Peter, Smith - ect. NOTE: der, die, das = the - I won't go into details here, because that is too much for a start. I hope that helps, Manuela
