Quick RemindersQuick Reminders Punctuation ALWAYS goes inside quotation marks (example: Mr. Pentzak yelled, “YOLO!” and he jumped out of the moving van. OR Ms. Brinkley confessed, “Mr. Pentzak is the coolest teacher ever.” Do not indent the first line of a citation, if it goes onto a second line, indent that one. Citation builder websites may not always be correct. Always write citations yourself!
