Question About Quotations and Capitalizations
0 Hey, I'm writing an essay and am getting confused with capitalization after ending a quote. Here's my sentence: 02 br
02 br
01 b 00 “Nope.” That was the only response I could utter, still trying to regain feeling in my mouth. 02 b 02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
00 Would I capitalize the "T" in "that"? 02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
00 The same problem occurs in these next two sentences 02 br
02 br
02 br
01 b 00 “Sit down, we have to talk about this.” a majority of the attendees uttered in unison. 02 b 02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
01 b 00 “We don’t like this, and don’t want you to be involved.” my father said without giving me a chance to say anything. 02 b 02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
02 br
00 Would I capitalize the first letter outside a quotation or not (the "a" in "a majority" and the "m" in "my father"? Thanks. 02 br
