Is the letter after a comma for dialogue capitalized?

It depends! Here's the breakdown:

Generally, no, the letter after a comma in dialogue is not capitalized.

* Example: "Hello," she said, "how are you?"

However, there are a few exceptions:

* When the dialogue starts a new sentence:

* Example: "Let's go," he said. "I'm hungry."

* When the dialogue is a proper noun:

* Example: "This is my friend, John," she said.

In short: The capitalization rule depends on whether the word after the comma begins a new sentence or is a proper noun.
