Grammar
Capitals
I have a few problems with some papers I am correcting in relation to my work, don't ask what I do, it is weird. A group of people are writing an extensive paper and most of them are not first language English speakers but with a high level of fluency. I need some advice to support my gut feelings regarding what is correct.
- he was arrested by the army in 1990 or he has been arrested by the army in 1990.?
- he was taken to Blackpool Army Camp or Blackpool army camp, same for police station,. If we are writing about an army camp or police staton without a specified place should it have capitals?
- he was arrested from his home in Blackpool or he was arrested in his home in Blackpool?
he was arrested at 10p.m. or 10pm and, if we want to continue, eg at 10p.m.,taken to *** is there a comma after the full stop? All very confusing and I thought I had a realtively good grasp of this language, obviously not.
I would be very grateful for your advice.
Thanks a lot for your help.
