Direct quotes generally begin with a capital letter.
◦ Examples: Explaining the lever, Archimedes said, “Give me a
place to stand, and I can move the world. Miss Perez answered, “The rest of the chapter, of
course.

When an interrupting expression divides a quoted sentence into two parts, the second part begins with a lowercase letter.
◦ Examples: “I wish,” she said, “that we went to the same
school.” “I know,” I answered, “but at least we are friends.”

Direct quotes can be set off from the rest of the sentence by a quotation mark, exclamation point, a question mark…but not a period.
◦ Basically, you can end a quote with any of these types of punctuation and continue your sentence.

Rules for where to place punctuation:
◦ Commas and periods are placed INSIDE closing QM
◦ Semicolons and colons are placed OUTSIDE closing QM
◦ Question marks and exclamation points are placed INSIDE closing QM…if the quote itself is quote or an exclamation…otherwise, they go outside

When typing, you should use italics When handwriting, you should use
underlining You should never use both Although people do it all the time for
emphasis in things such as notes…it’s not proper to do in formal English!
