Lesson 1.6 – Direct Quotations:  Quoted material is introduced by “that.”

Lesson 1.6 – Direct Quotations: Quoted material is introduced by “that.”

Topic Progress:
(e.) When the quoted material is introduced by 'that' or is in some other manner integrated into the sentence, do not capitalize the first word of the quotation.

Example:
A.  Mark, the banker, told me the business deal was a success.
Q.  When you say the banker stated that “the business deal was a success,” can you clarify that for me?

(Note:   When the attorney is quoting the witness, the word “that” is not part of the original quote so, therefore, should not be included in the quote.)
