If a Sentence Must Start with a Number, How Should We Write Capital Numbers?

I always wonder about that...


Yes, we could Write the Word, but: If it's Necessary to Start the Sentence with a Number, How do we Write Capital Numbers?If a Sentence Must Start with a Number, How Should We Write Capital Numbers?
If the sentence starts with a number, you write the number out. It is not grammatically correct to write '4' at the start of a sentence; it should 'Four.' Also, any number ten and under (it might be under ten, not including it) is supposed to be written out no matter where in the sentence it is.If a Sentence Must Start with a Number, How Should We Write Capital Numbers?
I'm not sure if this is a trick question but here goes an example:





';One night I saw 7 houses in a row...';





Is that what you mean?





I think there is a rule that you should capitalize numbers in the beginning of a sentence but in the middle it can be numeric.





Hope this helps
In Gothic Numbers?


It looks really good to me, so every school in the country should start teaching them, then...

You don't need to use a capital letter because it is not the start of the sentence.
I think you have much to learn about capital letters.
Well if you really want to write capitals... then write the number in words...





example 1 = One.
you don't.
