Is Your Capitalized in a Title?

Whether a word should be capitalized when using title case depends on several factors, but the most important factor is the grammatical function (or word class) of that word, i.e., if it’s a noun, verb, preposition, etc. Most dictionaries (for example, Collins) classify your as (possessive) determiner (Merriam-Webster categorizes it as adjective). In title case, the only words that are not capitalized are

• articles,
• conjunctions, and
• (short) prepositions

Since your is none of these, it follows that it must be capitalized. This is true for all title case styles.
