Capitals with school and university subjects
Are school and university subjects normally capitalized? I would tend not to, but it can sometimes be a little confusing as some natives tell me that they are capitaised, while others advise me to keep them as lower case.
Estudio Matemáticas, Alemán, e Inglés. Estudio matemáticas, alemán, e inglés. Aquel es Andrés, el profesor de Historia. Aquel es Andrés, el profesor de historia. ¿Dónde enseñas Matemáticas? ¿Dónde enseñas matemáticas? ¿Has aprobado la Historia? ¿Has aprobado la historia? I also wondered if would make a difference if we were referring to a language: El Español es un idioma universal. El español es un idioma universal. Many thanks in advance. |

Thanks so much for clarifying that so well, AngelicaDeAlquezar. This has always been an area of concern for me.
¿Has aprobado la Historia? This sentence came directly from a textbook written by a Spanish author, and when I read it, regardless of my doubt about the capital, I did think it was off with the definite article. Thanks for clarifying that, too. |
