"You can start a sentence with a quote," the teacher said, "and there is certainly nothing wrong with doing so."
A quote which is incorporated within a sentence where it makes sense with the rest of the sentence.
You can quote me on that.
A step quote is when more than one quote is used within a statement or sentence. A quote used in a step quote does not have to be by the same person.
No, you cannot start a sentence with "no" unless you need to do so. No reason exists not to start a sentence with that word, as you can see. No one will care if you do start a sentence with it.
That is a direct quote since those are the waitress' exact words. It would be an indirect quote if you summarized her words.

Yes, you can start a sentence with a quote in an essay, but it is important to properly introduce and integrate the quote into your writing to maintain clarity and coherence.

When copying a quote that starts in the middle of a sentence, you can use an ellipsis (...) to indicate that the quote is a partial excerpt. Place the ellipsis at the beginning of the quote to signify that it doesn't start from the beginning of the sentence. This preserves the integrity of the original quote while indicating that it has been abbreviated for your specific purpose.
I don't know if you're asking if quotation marks should be used to begin a sentence or if you're asking if a sentence should be started with a quote from an outside source. So I will answer both. Quotation marks may begin a sentence at any time necessary. While writing essays, in my experience, professors like a little introduction before a quote. But there's no rule saying you can't. Maybe in the sentence before the quote you write an explanation then end the sentence and start the next with a quote. But you could most times use a colon instead of ending the sentence and then the quote would still be within the first sentence.
To quote from Charles Dickens' A Tale Of Two Cities: 'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times....' So obviously 'It' can start a sentence.

Please quote accurately from your source.
You can quote me on that.
If you're starting a sentence with a quote that does not start with a capital letter, you can put the first letter of the quote in brackets to indicate that it was not originally capitalized.
You only capitilize the first word if it is a capital in the original. If you are quoting from the middle of a sentence, just put in quotation marks, a few dots, and then begin the quote. eg: "...or not to be: that is the question."
