FAQ

Many students ask, "Is the word "is" capitalized in a title?

ANSWER
First, let’s review which words get capitalized in titles (according to The Chicago Manual of Style).

1. First and last words
2. Nouns
3. Verbs
4. Pronouns
5. Adjectives
6. Adverbs

Is (like pillage, splatter, and giggle) is a verb. So, even though it’s a teeny tiny verb, it still gets the full capitalization treatment.
