Embedding Quotations practice - Liese Wellmeyer Garcia | Biblioteka

Directions:

Look closely at the answers below to select the correct one. The only difference could be a misplaced period.

Follow these patterns when embedding quotes:

1. Introduce quote “quote” (citation with author's name and #).

2. Introduce quote (author’s name) “quote” (citation just #).

Few things to remember:

1. If you introduce your quote with a complete sentence that describes the quotation or provides information about it, you must punctuate it with a colon before inserting the quote.

2. Begin your sentence with a phrase that introduces the quote, and then punctuate with a comma before including the quote.

3. When including short quotations in your own writing, you should stick to just a few words.

4. Begin your sentence by paraphrasing the quote, and then finish the sentence with the quote.
