Quotation MarksQuotation MarksQuotation MarksQuotation Marks
Rule #1• Use quotation marks to enclose a direct
quotation – a person’s exact words.• Do NOT use quotation marks for an indirect
quotation – a rewording of a direct quotation.• Examples:• Direct quotation: Juan said, “The bus is late.”
(Juan’s exact words)• Indirect quotation: Juan said that the bus was
late. (Not Juan’s exact words)
Rule #2• A directly quoted sentence begins
with a capital letter.
• Ex: Mrs. Talbott said, “Please get a pencil.”
Rule #3• When an expression identifying the
speaker interrupts a quoted sentence, the second part of the quotation begins with a lowercase letter.
• Ex: “Will you take care of my lawn,” asked Mr. Franklin, “while I’m on vacation next month?”
Rule #4• If a quotation comes at the beginning of
a sentence, a comma, question mark, or exclamation point usually follows it.
• Ex: “Dogs make better pets than cats do,” said Frank.
• Ex: “Have you ever had a cat?” Donna asked.
• Ex: “No, and I never will!” he replied.
Practice• John said I love to play basketball
in the afternoon
Practice• The weather has been out of this
world lately exclaimed tom
Practice• Mrs. Pearson said please do not sit
in front of the gate
• The woman yelled get out of the way.
Practice• I hate it when it rains said Sally at
the ballpark.
PracticeWalking to school exclaimed Tom is
so exhausting
Practice• The bow on Terri’s head is crooked
said Rachel
Practice• What time does the play start
asked Sydney
Rule #5• If a quotation comes at the end of
a sentence, a comma usually comes before it.
• Ex: Maria asked, “What makes you say that?”
Rule #6• If a quoted sentence is divided, a
comma usually follows the first part and comes before the second part.
• Ex: “Oh,” Donna commented, “he’s probably just saying that because he’s never had a cat.”
Rule #7• A period or comma should be
placed inside the closing quotation marks.
• Ex: “I can’t wait to see Shirley Caesar’s new video,” James said. “It’s supposed to come out next week.”
Rule #8• A question mark or exclamation point should be placed inside
closing quotation marks when the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation. Otherwise, it should be placed outside.
• Ex: “What time will you be home from work, Mom?” asked Michael. (the quotation is a question)
• Ex: Who said, “All the world’s a stage”? (the sentence, not the quotation, is a question)
• Ex: “Stop!” yelled the crossing guard. (the quotation is an exclamation)
• Ex: What a surprise to hear Susana say, “We’re moving back to Puerto Rico in June”! (the sentence, not the quotation, is an exclamation)
Rule #8 Practice• Where should the question mark
be placed?• “Do you know how to get to the
movie theater “ asked Davie.• “Do you know how to get to the
movie theater?” asked Davie.
Rule #8 Practice• Where should the question mark
be placed?• Do you know who said, “I have a
dream today “• Do you know who said, “I have a
dream today”?
Rule #8 Practice• Where should the question mark
be placed?• Who said, “Give me liberty or give
me death “• Who said, “Give me liberty or give
me death”?
Rule #8 Practice• Where should the question mark
