What else can I help you with?
Do commas go before or after quotation mark?
after the quotation marks because if put before the quotation mark, that makes the quote seem like if it continues after what you wrote even if the quote has ended. period marks go before the quotation mark because that is ending a sentence... period.
Do you put a quotation mark before or after the semi-colon that follows it?
The quotation mark would go before the semicolon, because the semicolon represents the beginning of a new thought in the same sentence.
Do you put quotation marks in front of the word she told me?
Yes, if your using a quote from her you do use quotation marks. Like this-I'll quote you. The question was "Do you put quotation marks in front of the word she told me?"The phrase she told me is what in language we refer to a dialogue tag. It is introductory to a quote. For instance, in the example below:She told me, "You are wasting your time waiting for Bob to propose to you."Dialogue tags need not precede the quote. They can appear between any clauses in the quoted sentence. For instance:"You," She told me, "are wasting your time waiting for Bob to propose to you.""You are wasting your time," She told me,"waiting for Bob to propose to you.""You are wasting your time waiting for Bob,"She told me, "to propose to you.""You are wasting your time waiting for Bob to propose," She told me, "to you."You'll notice that each placement of the dialogue tag tends to emphasize a different part of the quoted sentence, and can become awkward.
Where are you going asked dad using quotation marks?
I need to add quotation marks in that sentence
If quotes are at the end of a sentence does the question mark come before the end quote or after?
It can work either way, depending upon what question you are aksing; I will illustrate. First example: Who was it who said "Give me liberty or give me death"? Pete Seeger once asked the question, "Where have all the flowers gone?" If the quote is a question it gets the question mark, but if the sentence is a question about a quote, then the question mark is outside of the quotation marks. English grammar is very logical (unlike English spelling).
What is the rule for writing a quotation within a quotation?

How do you end a quote?
You can end a quote with a quotation mark. If the quote continues in the same paragraph, a comma is typically placed before the closing quotation mark. If the quote is a complete sentence, the ending punctuation (like a period or question mark) comes before the closing quotation mark.
If a proper or nickname is part of a quote do you use single quotation marks?

What word starts with quo and means the use of someone else's spoken or written words?
Quote/quotation.
Are lyrics and quotes the same?
No, lyrics and quotes are not the same thing. Lyrics are the words that are intended to be sung in a particular song, accompanied by some specific musical composition. A quotation is any repetition of something that had previously been said by someone else. Here is an example. The other day I was talking to my friend Jim, and he told me "I don't like the way the Republican Party is conducting this campaign." The statement inside the quotation marks is a quotation. It is, of course, possible to quote lyrics. But it is also possible to quote lots of things that are not lyrics. Edit: To quote is the verb; to quote, quotation is the noun; a quotation :)
When is it okay not to use quotation marks with a quotation?
Never. You should always have quotation marks sorrounding a quote.
How do you type a correct quote?
To correctly type a quote, type an open quotation mark, then the exact quotation, then a closed quotation mark.

To indicate you've skipped some words, use an ellipsis, and use brackets to indicate that you've changed words.
Do you put quotations after every sentence?
Put a quotation mark at the beginning of the quote and at the end of the quote. You do not need to put quotation marks around each sentence within that quote.
