there is a だ placed before the end of a sentence. I was under the impression
that だ can _only_ be placed at the end of the sentence (excluding sentence
ending particles), or else it must take its な form. Is this not the case?

copula
Placing the copula だ not at the end of a sentence
Quotative と uses the 終止形 and not the 連体形. This is one of the few instances
where they're different in modern Japanese. Surely you've seen だと思う?
