1. Days such as Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday must begin with capital letters. 
2. Holidays like Diwali, Holi, Christmas, and Eid are special names and must be capitalized. 
3. Capitalization helps readers easily recognize important events and celebrations. 
4. Learning this rule improves sentence writing and grammar accuracy.
