John Proctor, to his wife Elizabeth
Here is an example of a sentence that correctly uses quotation marks: She said, "I will meet you at the park at 3 o'clock."
Hale from The Crucible.
The famous quotation is "Their's but to do or die". It comes from the poem "The charge of the light brigade" by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
John Proctor.
Quotation marks are used to show the exact words a person said.
"This" It is used to mark a quotation, e.g., Tom said, "I am tired" and then he went to bed.
He asked, "What is an indirect quotation?"
They are called either quotation marks or speech marks.
An indirect quotation is a statement by the writer of what another person said but in the writer's words, not the actual words of the original speaker. For example "Judy said she would drop by after she got off work". A direct quotation uses the exact words of the speaker. for example "'I'll come over when I get off work' said Judy".
The word "quotation" can function as a noun in a sentence. It refers to the act of repeating or mentioning something said or written by someone else.
This sentence is an indirect quotation - James said that he is a garbologist. An indirect quotation, sometimes called indirect speech or reported speech, reports someone's words without quoting word for word eg A direct quotation or direct speech gives the exact words of a speaker or writer, with quotation marks: James said " I am a garbologist".
It is a quotation sentence that has (the he said and she said) part in the middle.Ex: " Vannesa and Janelle went to the mall at 2:30," said Mrs. Johnson, " but they will be back soon."Another example of a divided quotation will have two sentences but the second sentence paired up with the first one won'thave the (he said she said) part in it.Ex: "Katie where are you hiding?" called Samatha. "Can you please come out?"
