∙ 15y agoAll 'proper nouns' get a capital letter -> the name of a person or a place.... John, London, Mary, Cairo.
Brand and trade names also get capitals-> Microsoft, Nescafe, Honda, Nokia.
Finally, abbreviations which are made up of names - IMB (International Business Machines), NATO (North Atlantic Trreaty Organisation), USA (United States of America). ... and apart from those, a capital letter is always used for the first word of a sentence.... as I have in the 'A' of "all" in line 1, the 'B' of "brand" in the second line, and the 'F' of "finally" in line 3.
