Sometimes when quoting, it is necessary to add a word or two to explain the context. Any added words must be placed in square brackets to show that they weren't in the original. The reason for putting the first letter in brackets is usually that it was in upper case in the original but won't be in the quote (or vice versa).
For example, I might quote from Hamlet as follows:
The question facing Hamlet was "[t]o be or not to be". Here the square bracket is needed because the original has "To be or not to be".
