CAPITALISATION

Capitals are used at the beginning of a sentence, for proper nouns, for the titles of officers, works, books, films, etc.: the President of India, Parliament, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi the Vice-Chancellor Arun Desai, 'Sound of Music', Twelfth Night, Padma Bhushan, Nobel Prize.
We should not use capital when you are talking of the generic: for example, 'The prime minister of the country have done their best to improve the economy.' Or 'You need to think of which subject you would like to take up: chemistry, physics and biology are much prepared, but the humanities is not any the less important.'
Important guidelines in the use of capitals:

  • Capitalise the first letters of names of people (both first names and surnames and initials, if any) and places (such as streets, villages, cities, countries, hotels, parks, hospitals and buildings): Sushant Joshi, V.S. Yusuf, Nehru Marg, ShirdiSurya Inn, Lumbini Park, Asia Hospital.
  • The first letters of the nationalities and language are religious groups are capitalised: Indian, Japanese, Muslim, Jew, Hindi.
  • The names of the days of the week and the months of the year begin with capital letters: Sunday, March. 
  • The names of holidays, religious festivals and sporting events are capitalised: Ramzan and the French Open. 
  • All the words (except articles, prepositions and conjunctions) in full names of the schools, colleges, universities, departments and other organisations begin with a capital letter: Wonderla Kindergarten, Govt College, Mumbai University, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Andhra Bank and the Government of India. 
  • Names of brands of bicycles, cars and other vehicles always start with a capital letter: Maruti, Hercules. 
  • Capital letters are also used for the names of particular trains, ships and space crafts: Rajdhani, Vikrant and Chandrayaan. 
  • Some words are usually uppercased, especially in official writing: the Bar the, the Chair and the Bench. 
  • Names of degrees, awards and prizes always start with capital letters: Bachelor of Mathematics, MBA and Nobel Prize. 
  • All terms of address begin with capital letters: Dear Ladies and Gentleman/Sir/Mother, etc. 
  • Abbreviated points of the compass are always written in the capital letters, but if they are spelt out, then they are lowercased: SE, but southeast. 
  • Names of oceans, seas, rivers, hills, mountains, valleys and bays have initial capital letters, but when referring to them in generic terms, such as 'the sea', 'the river',etc., lower case letters are used: the Pacific Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Musi River. 
  • The words making up the names of planets, stars and constellations begin with the capital letters, but when the names consist of particular and class component, only the first word is capitalised: Jupiter and Ursa Major but Holley's comet. 
  • Computer terms such as LC, IBM PC, MS DOS and Microsoft Word.

CONSONANTS

Consonants are produced when there is either a closure or narrowing of the air passage in the oral cavity. For example, /t/ is pronounced with the front of the tongue pushing against the palate. The 24 consonants in English are listed below: Consonants are further classified in terms of how the sounds are made: Plosives: Plosive sounds are produced when the vocal tract is blocked, building up air pressure, and then the air stream is abruptly released.  Fricatives: In the production of fricatives, airstream is directed through a narrow construction in the vocal tract. Nasals: In the production of nasal sounds, air flows through the nasal cavity.   Affricates: Affricates begin as stops and conclude as fricatives.
