Ellipses at the beginning of a quotation. It is rarely necessary to use ellipsis points at the beginning of a quotation, even if the quotation begins mid-sentence. It is also usually acceptable to change the capitalization of the first word of the quotation to match the surrounding material.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in Rule 4 in this section, a rule that has the advantage of being far simpler than Britain's and the disadvantage of being far less logical. Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation. Correct: I hope you will be here, he said. Incorrect: He said that he hoped I would be there.. (The quotation marks are incorrect because hoped I would be there does not state the speaker's exact words.) Rule 2a. Always capitalize the first word in a complete quotation, even midsentence.
