Name__________________________Date_________________ESOL Advanced/IntermediateHOMEWORK quotation marksPlease review the rules we learned about quotation marks.QUOTATION MARKSQuotation marks are used to show the beginning and end of a quotation or a title of a short work. Quotation marks enclose the exact words of a person (direct quotation). EXAMPLE: Megan said, "Kurt has a red hat." Do not use quotation marks around a paraphrase (using your own words to express the author’s ideas) or a summary of the author's words. EXAMPLE: Megan said that Kurt’s hat was red. Quotation marks set off the titles of magazine articles, poems, reports, and chapters within a book. (Titles of books, magazines, plays, and other whole publications should be underlined or italicized.) EXAMPLE: "The Talk of the Town" is a regular feature in Timemagazine. QUOTATION MARKS WITH OTHER PUNCTUATIONPlace periods and commas inside quotation marks. EXAMPLE: Aida said, “Aaron has a blue shirt.” Place semicolons and colons outside quotation marks. EXAMPLE: He calls me his "teddy bear"; I'm not a bear.Place question marks or exclamation points inside the quotation marks if they punctuate the quotation only. EXAMPLE: "Are we too late?" she asked. Place question marks or exclamation points outside the quotation marks if they punctuate the entire sentence. EXAMPLE: Why did she say, "We are too late"?
