Rule #1• Use quotation marks to enclose a direct
quotation – a person’s exact words.• Do NOT use quotation marks for an indirect
quotation – a rewording of a direct quotation.• Examples:• Direct quotation: Juan said, “The bus is late.”
(Juan’s exact words)• Indirect quotation: Juan said that the bus was
late. (Not Juan’s exact words)
Rule #2• A directly quoted sentence begins
with a capital letter.
• Ex: Mrs. Talbott said, “Please get a pencil.”
Rule #3• When an expression identifying the
speaker interrupts a quoted sentence, the second part of the quotation begins with a lowercase letter.
• Ex: “Will you take care of my lawn,” asked Mr. Franklin, “while I’m on vacation next month?”
Rule #4• If a quotation comes at the beginning of
a sentence, a comma, question mark, or exclamation point usually follows it.
• Ex: “Dogs make better pets than cats do,” said Frank.
• Ex: “Have you ever had a cat?” Donna asked.
• Ex: “No, and I never will!” he replied.
Rule #5• If a quotation comes at the end of
a sentence, a comma usually comes before it.
• Ex: Maria asked, “What makes you say that?”
Rule #6• If a quoted sentence is divided, a
comma usually follows the first part and comes before the second part.
• Ex: “Oh,” Donna commented, “he’s probably just saying that because he’s never had a cat.”
Rule #7• A period or comma should be
placed inside the closing quotation marks.
• Ex: “I can’t wait to see Shirley Caesar’s new video,” James said. “It’s supposed to come out next week.”
Rule #8• A question mark or exclamation point should be placed inside
closing quotation marks when the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation. Otherwise, it should be placed outside.

• Ex: Who said, “All the world’s a stage”? (the sentence, not the quotation, is a question)
• Ex: “Stop!” yelled the crossing guard. (the quotation is an exclamation)
• Ex: What a surprise to hear Susana say, “We’re moving back to Puerto Rico in June”! (the sentence, not the quotation, is an exclamation)
