Quotations

Direct quotations If you are using someone’s exact words, you must put the words in quotation marks. Katie said, “I would like vanilla ice cream.”

Indirect quotations If you are reporting what someone said, but not using their exact words, you do not need quotation marks. Katie said that she would like vanilla ice cream.

Multiple quotations Every time a new speaker speaks, begin a new paragraph. “Where are we going?” I asked Christopher. “I’m not sure,” he said. “I think we’re lost.” “Oh not again,” I sighed.
