Where do you put the period in a quote?

If you are writing what someone said, then it looks like this: Kate said, "Put this in the oven." It goes inside the quotation marks. If you are putting quotes around something to emphasize something: John thinks he is being "cool". It goes on the outside because you are just using the quotes around that particular word. If you are quoting what someone said, the punctuation mark goes inside the quotation marks.

When using an ellipsis at the end of a quote, you must make sure to have a space before and after each ellipsis point, like this: "Here is an example...". This indicates that words are omitted from the original quote.
