North on main Street

Answer 1

Answer:

"To get to the grocery store, walk or drive north on Main Street."

Explanation:

You don't need to capitalize the north when you are being directed somewhere. As for the Main Street, since that's the actual name of the street, you would capitalize both parts.

Answer 2

Answer:

To get to the grocery store, walk or drive north on Main Street

Explanation:

In the sentence, “north” should not be capitalized because it acts as an adverb that indicate direction. However, when this word acts as a noun that refers to specific regions or are part of a name (e.g.: “in the North” and “the North Coast”), it should be capitalized. As for the word “on,” it is a preposition, and prepositions are never to be capitalized. Lastly, “Main Street” is a proper noun, that is, a noun that names an specific thing or person, and as all proper nouns, it should be capitalized.
