German words which are the same as English, similar, and capital or small letter for morgen / Morgen

You can use German in Germany, Austria and German-speaking parts of Switzerland.  Also Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and parts of Belgium and Italy.

I am learning German on Duolingo. I also have several books on learning German. The words which I remember most easily are those with the same or similar letters. The challenge is to remember when to use capital letters and add the accents, which are there to help you with the correct pronunciation. 

One puzzle which perplexed me and got solved today was when to use a capital letter for the word morgen meaning both morning and tomorrow - and tomorrow morning.
