How do you embed a quote in an essay?
There are three strategies you can use to embed quotations: set off quotations, build in quotations, or introduce quotations with a colon. Set-off quotations are set off from the sentence with a comma. Capitalize the first word of the quote. Notice the signal phrases (in bold print) used in the following examples.
How do you put a quote in a paragraph?
Yes. When a speaker’s words in dialogue extend to more than one paragraph, use an opening quotation mark at the beginning of each paragraph. Use a closing quotation mark, however, only at the end of the person’s speech, not at the end of every paragraph.
How do you show a continuous quote?
Shorten long quotes with ellipses. You can shorten quotes by removing words from the middle of the quote and adding ellipses to indicate that you have removed some words. Clarify Quotes with Brackets. Mix your own words and snippets of quotes in the same sentence.
How do you quote a separate sentence?
A longer quotation might span multiple sentences. Use four ellipsis points (rather than three) to indicate any omission between two sentences. The first point indicates the period at the end of the first sentence quoted, and the three spaced ellipsis points follow.
Do I capitalize quotes in the middle of a sentence?
Direct Quotations Capitalize the first letter of a direct quote when the quoted material is a complete sentence. If a direct quotation is interrupted mid-sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation.
