Capitalization

Another word which must be capitalized is the first word in a direct quote. Here are a few examples: 


	Sam said, "My rat is sick!"

	Jill mumbled, "Let's get going."

	She shouted, "Hey! I'm talking to you!"
Titles of people also need to be capitalized. Consider these examples: 


	Uncle Bob has a motorcycle.

	My cousin's mother is Aunt Mary.

	My aunt's son is Cousin Harry.

	We just heard a speech by President Smith.

	We meet Professor Jones who teaches at the college.
