Authors use quotations in sentences to indicate directly quoted speech or text from another source. Quotations help to differentiate the words of the original speaker or writer from the rest of the text, preserving their exact phrasing and meaning within the context of the author's work. It also adds credibility and provides evidence for claims or arguments made in the writing.
