Quotation Mark’s rules are also very crucial because if students sometimes want to enhance their essays or make their essays seem fancy and more supportive , the most common solution is to quote some famous people’s famous sayings or maxim. So I want to post this to remind the test takers of the essential quality of how to follow rules of Quotation Mark:
Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation.
Correct: “When will you be here?” he asked.
Incorrect: He asked “when I would be there.”
Rule 2. Quotation marks and italics are common for titles: magazines, books, plays, films, songs, poems, article titles, chapter titles, etc.
