Double quotation marks enclose only the quotation, not expressions like those that indicate the speaker or that give information about the quote. Ask not what your country can do for you, said President Kennedy, but what you can do for your country. I have a dream is one of the most well known phrases spoken by Martin Luther King, Jr. Single quotation marks enclose direct quotes within direct quotes. The teacher said, Remember what the fireman told us: Stop, drop and roll if your clothes catch on fire. Direct quotations must be reproduced exactly, including capitalization and punctuation. Use square brackets [ ] to indicate changes, such as changing the case of the first word in the direct quote, or additions, such as clarifying unclear references. Use ellipsis marks (. . .) to indicate omitted portions of a quote. No ellipsis marks are required when material is omitted from the beginning of the quote. Ellipsis marks at the end of a quote must also include a final period. When a complete sentence (or even a paragraph) has been omitted from the middle of a quote, a period must come before the ellipses. If the quoted material contains an error, MLA style documentation suggests using the Latin word sic, meaning thus or so. If you use sic at the end of the quote, place it in parentheses; if you use sic in the quote, near the error, place it in square brackets. Long quotations do not use quotation marks. MLA style documentation requires prose quotes consisting of more than four typed lines and poetry quotes of more than three lines to be indented one inch (ten spaces) from the left margin. The block quote extends all the way to the right margin and is double-spaced. The parenthetical documentation, if used, comes after the period. APA style documentation requires prose quotes consisting of forty or more words and poetry quotes of more than three typed lines to be indented five to seven spaces from the left margin. The block quote extends all the way to the right margin and is double-spaced. The parenthetical documentation, if used, comes after the period. Punctuation and Quotation Marks Commas go inside closing quotation marks. Fisk almost never closes when it snows, groaned the student. Periods go inside the closing quotation marks if the quote ends the sentence, except when using in-text citations. The newscaster said, Fisk is opening on schedule today despite the snow. The appearance of Justine was calm. She was dressed in mourning and her countenance, always engaging, was rendered, by the solemnity of her feelings, exquisitely beautiful (52). Semicolons and colons go outside the quotation marks. The sophomore literature class was reading Poes The Raven; however, many of the students had already read it in high school. Question marks and exclamation points go inside the quotation if they are part of the quote; however, they go outside of the quotation marks if they are part of the sentence that includes the quotation. You could almost hear the school children all over Middle Tennessee yelling, Its snowing! Schools out! Have you ever seen the Seinfeld episode entitled The Kick? Quotation Marks vs. Italics Quotation marks are used to indicate titles of short stories, essays, poems, songs, episodes of radio and television programs, articles in periodicals, and subdivisions of books. Italics are used to identify foreign words and phrases used in English sentences and to indicate words, letters, or figures spoken of as such. Italics are used to indicate the titles of books, magazines, newspapers, plays, films, radio and television shows, works of art, and long poems.
