Prompt 9 (Review) Remember:
There is no comma before the word “because” I went to the store because I needed milk. (no comma!) When you mention the authors name in the sentence, you don’t need a citation According to King, he was in Birmingham because he has “basic organizational ties” in the area. When you embed a quote into a sentence, it needs to be grammatically correct Bad example: King wanted to be in Birmingham because “we were invited here” (King). Who’s we? Where is here? It doesn’t make sense!
