Ex: Martha whispered quietly, “I’m scared of the dark.” • RULES • Use punctuation inside of the quotation marks. • Ex: “What if we get stuck in this place?” she asked. • Capitalize the first word in a quote. • Do NOT capitalize the first word in the second part of an interrupted quotation unless the second part starts a new sentence. • Ex: “When,” she breathed, “do we get out of here?”

  3. Commas , • Used to separate main clauses within a sentence that are joined by a coordinating conjunction. • Ex: Mary teaches students, and she volunteers at a local women’s shelter. • Used to separate elements that introduce and modify sentences. • Ex: After looking at several cars, Michael decided on a sports car. • Use with quotations to separate the quoted words from the sources. • Ex: Bill Taylor said, “Players win games, teams win championships.”
