Capital or no capital
English isn't my native language and I keep running into the same issue. I hope you can help me!
In the following sentence:
"What do you mean?" he asked.
You continue 'he' without a capital, but what if the sentence was like this:
"What do you mean?" his voice echoed through her head.
Is the 'his' supposed to be with or without a capital? So should it be as I wrote above, or like this:
"What do you mean?" His voice echoed through her head.
I have the same issue with sentences like this:
"What do you mean?" was the first thing he asked her.
"What do you mean?" the voice send chills down her spine. (this is when the source of the voice is unknown)
Top answer
" his voice echoed through her head. I would recommend writing this as two sentences. At a stretch, "his voice echoed through her head" can just about be allowed as part of the same sentence in my view, but a comma after the quotation seems desirable.
