Quotation Marks with Direct and Indirect Quotations

Quoting Prose

Direct quotations are another person's exact words--either spoken or in print--incorporated into your own writing.

Use a set of quotation marks to enclose each direct quotation included in your writing.

Use a capital letter with the first word of a direct quotation of a whole sentence. Do not use a capital letter with the first word of a direct quotation of part of a sentence.

If the quotation is interrupted and then continues in your sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation.
