: Re: Do you capitalize the "T" in "the" in a Title or Place's Name? When writing a title or a name of a place in a novel, do you capitalize the "T" in "the"? For example the name of an establishment,

You capitalize The if:

It begins a sentence.
It is part of the name.

So if the inn is The Cloak and Dagger Inn, everything is capitalized (except the and of course). If the name is the Cloak and Dagger Inn, then the the is not capitalized, as it is not part of the name.

On the other hand, if the the does not start the name, then it is not capitalized: Inn of the Cloak and Dagger.

Hopefully that wasn't too confusing. ;)
