Direct Quotations
Used to quote exactly what someone says. In this case, the quotations marks go around the word or phrase.
Examples:
•Sarah smiled and said, "Yes."
•I looked up from my desk and said, "No, you can't have a cookie."Slide4
Indirect Quotations
Indirect quotations are when you reference what someone said, but you’re not quoting them exactly. In this situation, no quotation marks are needed.
Examples:
•He wondered whether Sarah would say yes.
•I looked up from my desk and told him no, he couldn't have a cookie.Slide5
Where do I put the punctuation marks?
Commas and periods ALWAYS go
before
the quotation marks.
Squiggly said, “I hate packing for a vacation.”
“
I hate packing for a vacation,” said the yellow snail.Slide6
Where do I put the punctuation marks?
Other punctuation marks, such as exclamation points and question marks, are placed according the context of the
quotation
In this sentence, the whole thing is a question, so the question mark goes after the closing quotation mark:
Did she ask you whether you enjoyed
U2’s
song
“Pride”?
However, in this sentence only the part in quotation marks is a question, so the question mark goes inside the closing quotation mark:
I love
Peter, Paul and Mary’s
song “Where Have All the
Flowers
Gone?”Slide7
Where do the punctuation marks go?
With semicolons, colons, asterisks, and dashes, we get back to a simple rule. They always go outside the closing quotation mark.
I
loved the song “Where have all the flowers gone?”;
it’s insightful and moving.
“Where have all the flowers gone?”:
A Moving and Insightful
Song.
One of Peter, Paul and Mary’s
greatest
hits
is
“Where have all the flowers gone?”*
I love
“Where have all the flowers gone?”--
it’s insightful and moving. Slide8
