Hello, dear students! Today, we're learning a simple, yet crucial, German rule: nouns (Nomen) are always capitalized. This consistent rule helps you immensely.
The main idea is that every noun—a word for a person, place, thing, or idea—always starts with a capital letter, no matter its position in a sentence. For example, you'd write der Hund (dog) or das Buch (book) with a big first letter. This makes identifying nouns in any German text much easier.
Always pay attention to this rule when learning new vocabulary. Capitalizing all nouns will significantly improve your German writing ability!
