Using Quotation Marks
Why are quotation marks important?
When you talk with your friends or family, it’s easy to tell who said what.
No, but I’ll be done soon.
Did you finish your essay

Why are quotation marks important?
In writing, the only way to tell exactly who is speaking, and when, is by the quotation marks.

Direct quotations
Use quotation marks to enclose a direct quotation—a person’s exact words.
Mimi said, “Reptiles are my favorite animals.”
“Are turtles considered reptiles?,” asked Brian.
Direct quotations
When an interrupting expression divides a direct quotation into two parts, place quotation marks around both parts of the quoted statement.
“Will you take care of my pets,” Mr. Yates asked, “while I’m on vacation?”
“Yes, I will,” said Ted. “You can count on me.”
One quoted sentence with an interrupting expression
New quoted sentence following the interrupting expression
Direct quotations
“Dogs make better pets than cats do,” said Frank.
“Have you ever had a cat?” Amy asked.
A direct quotation can be set off from the rest of a sentence by a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation point, but not by a period.
“No, and I never will!” he replied.
Comma
Question mark
Exclamation point
Direct quotations
Place commas and periods inside the closing quotation marks.
“The wildlife park opens at 9:00,” Aunt Jenny announced.
Mason said, “I think you’ll like learning about the animals.”
Direct quotations
Place question marks and exclamation points inside the closing quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation.
“Does anyone want to go swimming?” Maria asked.
“Yes!” I answered. “Let’s leave now!”
The quoted sentence is a question.
Both direct quotations are exclamations.
Direct quotations
If the quotation itself is not a question or an exclamation, place the question mark or exclamation point outside the quotation marks.
What made Janice say, “I don’t even care anymore”?
I couldn’t believe it when Jeff said, “I’ll go with you”!
The quoted part is not a question, but the whole sentence is.
The quoted part is not an exclamation, but the whole sentence is.
