Supplementary for past participle:

The word "Interest" here is only a word and not a sentence can I capitalised it.
...
I adapt it from an grammar handout.I should say that the word "Interest" is not the topic of the handout.

"-ed" = passive: Should I capitalise it?
Ex1. is the shortform of example .should I capitalise the two letter or only capitalise one of the letter?
I ask this question because we capitalise all letters of UFO.
How about the phrase of "Supplementary for past participle"?
Should it capitalise Supplementary , past and participle ?
I am really confused!
Or could anybody tell me how to decise when I should capitalise a word?
Many thanks in advance

Hi, Generally speaking, we commonly capitalize all the words in a title or subtitle, although sometimes not the minor words in the middle like 'of', the'. However, if the title is a complete sentence and not just a phrase, sometimes we capialize it all and sometimes we don't. It's a style choice, whichever way you think looks better.

- If 'Ex' is a title/subtitle as in your example, I'd write it as 'Ex' followed by a period.
