Talk:Quotations Marks/@comment-44826720-20200204030859

Quotation marks are used in an open and closed function to indicate the beginning and end of a phrase used from a specific source. For example, “He stared at the black ring of grounds in his empty cup.” Is a phrase that came from William Gibson’s book Neuromancer. This helps identify to the reader that the writer is citing something from a specific source. Be sure to close your quotations after use to avoid plagiarism. Another way quotation mark is used, is to identify a spoken dialog. For example, my father once told me “You need to write better for no one can read that chicken scratch.”
