Title: Using Quotation Marks


1
Using Quotation Marks
  • Use quotation marks at the beginning and the end
    of a direct quotation. In this case, your
    quotation may be dialogue between the characters
    or a direct quote which is not dialogue.
  • Miss Postelli said, Someone is following me.

Using Quotation Marks
  • If the explanatory words come at the beginning of
    the sentence, use a comma after the explanatory
    words.
  • - Place the period at the end of a sentence
    inside the quotation marks.

Using Quotation Marks
  • To write a quote within a quote, use single
    quotation marks to enclose the inside quotation.
    In these instances a double quotation mark
    follows the single quotation mark.
  • Patrick Henry gave his famous speech in which he
    said, Give me liberty or give me death! before
    the Virginia Provincial Convention, Mr. Sloan
    told us.

5
Using Quotation Marks
  • When you use any type of quotation, make sure you
    identify who said or wrote the words.
  • Sometimes a quotation is divided by explanatory
    words. Then each part of the quotation is
    enclosed by quotation marks. When the divided
    quotation is a single sentence, begin the second
    part with a small letter. If the second part
    begins a new sentence, use a capital letter.
  • A healthy snack, Karen said, is granola with
    yogurt.
  • There is entertainment at halftime, Jamie said.
    The marching band will perform.
