I'm not sure exactly of your meaning but if you're writing a book and one of the characters asks a question, then you'd say something like
John then asked, "Where does the train go from?"
But if the charcacter is quoting someone else, then it would be
Jim said that John had asked where the train went from.
A word from a text or speech spoken by another person is typically referred to as a quotation or a quote.
Ellipsis (...) is often used to show that text has been omitted from a direct quote. Square brackets ([ ]) can also be used to indicate that words have been deleted from a direct quote. An em dash (—) can sometimes be used to show omitted text in a direct quote.
A comma is typically used before a quote when the quote is being integrated into the sentence as part of the text, for example: She said, "Hello." However, if the quote is a standalone sentence that follows directly after an introductory phrase or verb, a comma may not be necessary.
An extract question refers to a question that asks for specific information or quotes from a text, article, or other source. It is typically used to assess a person's ability to locate and extract relevant information from a given text.
The combination of a question mark with quotation marks is used to indicate a question within a quote. This punctuation is referred to as a question within a question or a quoted question.

In quoted material a bracket around text indicates that it has been changes from the original quote. e.g. "I was with him on the night in question." "I was with [Michael] on the night in question." Indicates that the Michael was not the word used in the original quote, but gives a reader information that they were unable to infer from the word him, but is still the accurate interpretation of the actual original quote.

Quotation marks are used to indicate that a paragraph of text is a direct quote from another source.

To properly quote a quote in writing, use double quotation marks around the quoted text and single quotation marks within the quoted text for any quotes within the original quote. Additionally, provide the author's name and the page number if applicable to give credit to the original source.
An example of an APA in-text citation for a direct quote would be (Author's Last Name, Year, p. Page Number).
To introduce a block quote, provide a brief lead-in sentence that sets the context or relevance of the quote. Use a colon to precede the block quote, which should be formatted as a separate paragraph, indented from the left margin. Ensure that the quote is accurately attributed to its source, and follow it with an explanation or analysis to integrate it smoothly into your text.
