Puntuation Problem??

Question

If your writing a story with dialogue and say you write

She said "Stop touching me."

Does every qoutation begins with a capital and do you put a comma before the qoutation

She said, "Stop touching me.

Help

Answer 1

Direct quotes begin with a capital letter

You use a comma before:  Mary asked, "Where are you going?"

or after: Mark replied, "I'm going to the movies."

Begin a new paragraph every time the speaker changes.

Use quotation marks at the beginning and end of the direct quote.

Answer 2

Not every quotation begins with a capital. Only if the quotation starts without something before it. Commas are always necessary before the quotation.

For example:

She said, "stop touching me."

"Stop touching me," she said.
