Grammar
Punctuation Before Speech
Hello,
Am I right in using a capital with speech that is preceded by a comma? Such as in this examples? It seems to be that there is no particular rule, but in my example, I think it makes sense as the speaker is starting a new sentence...
With that in mind, is it right when the speaker starts a new sentence, but not needed for a continuation of the same one?
“I’ve seen you around here a lot lately. You seem interesting. I’m Adam,” he said, and then nervously asked, “Do you want to go for a coffee or something? You’re really cute.”
