Q: I have found the following in the English
text book of 8th class. In some lessons
the first word is not started with a capital letter in quotations.
For Eg: "do you remember Amma?"
sun, moon, earth, world - The first letters of the above aren't capital?
A: The first word in quotations always
begins with a capital letter. If you don't
find it so, it might be a printers mistake.
The line you have quoted should be 'Do
you remember Amma?'.
The first letters of sun, moon, earth,
world need not be in capitals.
