In this regard, do you capitalize parents?
1 Answer. The noun "parents" is a common noun, a general word for one's mother and father. A common noun is capitalized only when it's the first word in a sentence.
Similarly, are Mom and Dad proper nouns? Luckily, the answer is simple. Proper nouns are capitalized and common nouns aren't. In other words, when “Mom” and “Dad” are used in place of a person's name, they're capitalized. When “mom” and “dad” describe a generic parental relationship, they're lowercased.
Likewise, people ask, does the word Dad need to be capitalized?
2 Answers. "Dad" is a specific reference (when you say it you mean somebody different from when I say it), so it gets capitalized like any proper noun. On the other hand, "dad" is a common noun meaning "father" (anybody's). (3) is not capitalized because it's using a common noun ("a dad"), not a proper one ("Dad").
