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.
Capitalize this! 1  The first word of every sentence. 2  The first-person singular pronoun, I. 3  The first, last, and important words in a title.  Proper nouns Specific persons and things: George W. Bush, the White House, General Motors 1  Corporation. Names of relationships only when they are a part of or a substitute for a person's name. (Often this means that when there is a modifier, such as a possessive pronoun, in front of such a word, we do not capitalize it.) Let's go visit Grandmother today. Let's go visit my grandmother today.
