To answer the capitalization questions, you need to keep in mind that you always capitalize proper names (John, Mary, Sally), titles when they take the place of names (What is my illness, Doctor?), or when they precede a proper name (e.g. Doctor Smith, Senator Williams). If you’re talking about specific geographical areas, you need to capitalize them too (New England, Florida, etc.). You do not want to capitalize pronouns (like mom, dad, brother and sister, unless you’re using them in place of the proper name: My mom does…but Mom, have you seen my slippers?)

The best way to do the confusing words questions is to figure out what each word means if you’re not sure. You can do that with any of several online dictionaries, like dictionary.com.
