Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation. Correct: I hope you will be here, he said. Incorrect: He said that he hoped I would be there.. (The quotation marks are incorrect because hoped I would be there does not state the speaker's exact words.) Rule 2a. Always capitalize the first word in a complete quotation, even midsentence.
And as to indenting, this is what it says: If the quotation has more than 40 words, use a block quotation. Begin the quotation on a new line and indent a half-inch from the left margin. Double-space the entire quotation, and at the end of the quotation, provide citation information after the final punctuation mark.
