 how to properly use quotation marks and the surrounding punctuation and capital letters? Many people will reply like this:/, "One plus One is two. It's just that simple!" John said,/: "where are you?" The text book says:/, "Five-hundred dollars is a lot of money." The Bible says:/, "He who has an ear...." (Revalation) I asked: "Is one plus one equal to two?" he replied: "Yes."  You can find in books a lot of very precise rules about punctuation in tricky situations. However, as just a normal everyday English speaker/writer, I would write these things like this.
