However, if you write your essay and post it in the writing section, someone may have a look and offer you some advice.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Numbers/kmpkd/post.htm#898745Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:57:30 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:898745grammar geekHi Anon, First, please don't write in all capital letters. It's considered shouting on the Internet. Many style guides suggest you write numbers from one to ten and use numerals for numbers higher than that. I have two brothers. I have lived here 12 years.http://www.englishforums.com/English/UseOfCapitalLetters/kmjzv/post.htm#896938Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:09:31 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:896938mister micawberYes, because you are referring to the same specific entity.http://www.englishforums.com/English/UseOfCapitalLetters/kmjzv/post.htmFri, 11 Sep 2009 12:02:27 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:896856anonymousWhen writing sentences can you tell me where to put the capital letters please. For example, I start an article discussing the East of England Ambulance Service. Further down I want to say the Service's Director Paul Jones commented.... Is it correct to have the capital S on the Service's as it is the title of the particular organisation as opposed to a generic service? many thankshttp://www.englishforums.com/English/CapitalLetters/kmgzk/post.htm#896196Fri, 11 Sep 2009 00:32:28 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:896196grammar geekIf it is a class you can sign up for, so that when you register for it, you are registering for "20th Century Anti-Utopian Literature" and not "a literature class" it is a specific class. Saying "I have math class at 11" is not specific. Saying "I have Linear Algebra II at 11" is specific.
