Quotation rules specify how to properly use and format quotations in writing. This includes using quotation marks to indicate the exact words spoken or written by someone, attributing quotes to the original source, and ensuring that the quoted text is integrated smoothly into the surrounding text. It's important to follow these rules to maintain clarity, accuracy, and integrity in your writing.
