Embedded+Quotes+in+Writing

==Page numbers for quotes need to come after the quote, but before the end punctuation. The period always comes after the page number, not before. However, a question mark or exclamation mark still needs to be included within a quote .==

• Wrong: “Is it really the sun” (35).
==Sometimes you will need to replace a pronoun with a proper name or make other small changes to quotes to get them to fit the context of your embedded quote. These changes should be made in brackets [ ] .==

__DELETE SOME PARTS OF THE QUOTE:__
==﻿ Sometimes you will want to omit/delete parts of a quote that are not necessary. These omissions should be marked with ellipses (...). Note: you only have to do this when the part of the omitted quote is in the middle of a sentence, not the beginning or the end.==

__QUOTATION WITHIN A QUOTATION__
==If a quotation itself contains words in quotation marks, use single quotation marks around those words. • The breathless narrator exclaims, “Jack said, ‘You’re pretty,’ and I practically fainted. Then he said, ‘I like your shoes’!” (1).==
