Understanding Sentence Case: When and Why It Matters

Sentence case is a style where only the first letter of the first word is capitalized, along with any proper nouns. It mimics the way we write regular sentences in English.

Why Use Sentence Case?

• It feels natural and conversational
• Ideal for longer-form writing, emails, and instructions
• Helps set a relaxed tone for digital content

Sentence case is particularly useful for websites, mobile apps, and UI elements that need to sound friendly and easy to understand. It can also make content more approachable and inclusive.

Here’s an example:

• Sentence case: This is a sentence written in sentence case.
• Title Case: This Is a Sentence Written in Title Case.
