Can you capitalize the word in?

Yes, if you just press shift on the keyboard and the letter, then it should become a capital. If the word 'in' starts a sentence, then it should have a capital letter, but otherwise it should be in the lower case. "In" is conventionally lower case in titles, too, unless the title starts with "in" (just as it would be capitalised at the beginning of a sentence). "The Catcher in the Rye", or "In the Name of the Law" are examples of correct usage in book or movie titles.


What is aov morphology?

Morphology is the identification, analysis and description of structure of words (words as units in the http://www.answers.com/topic/lexicon are the subject matter of http://www.answers.com/topic/lexicology). While words are generally accepted as being (with http://www.answers.com/topic/clitic) the smallest units of http://www.answers.com/topic/syntax, it is clear that in most (if not all) languages, words can be related to other words by rules. For example, http://www.answers.com/topic/english-language speakers recognize that the words dog, dogs, and dog catcher are closely related. English speakers recognize these relations from their tacit knowledge of the rules of word formation in English. They infer intuitively that dog is to dogs as cat is to cats; similarly, dog is to dog catcher as dish is to dishwasher. The rules understood by the speaker reflect specific patterns (or regularities) in the way words are formed from smaller units and how those smaller units interact in speech. In this way, morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies patterns of word formation within and across languages, and attempts to formulate rules that model the knowledge of the speakers of those languages.


Is German supposed to be capitalized in a sentence?

Every word in a proper noun requires an upper-case initial. That applies to titles and place names and so on. Exceptions are sometimes made for common connectives such as "in", "of", "the" and "at" inside titles such as "The Catcher in the Rye" and "The Dukes of Hazard". So your puppy requires *3* capitals, because the proper noun for its breed is German Shepherd Dog. A German shepherd, on the other hand, is a person who tends sheep, and is either working in Germany or was born there. The word "shepherd" in that case is a common noun, but "German" remains a proper noun. In "Dogue de Bordeaux", the "de" is French for "of", so need not have a capital letter.
