letters Some college instructors prefer that you not use contractions in college writing

Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words

ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

APOSTROPHES
Apostrophes
An apostrophe (lsquo) is used to show possession and to form contractions
Rule 1 Use an apostrophe to show that something belongs to someone If the thing belongs to one person use rsquos after the noun that refers to the person even if the noun
already ends in ndashs
Jessicarsquos nose ring is the topic of conversation in class
Her friendrsquos ear stud however does not generate much interest
Classmates do not even know about Elvisrsquos belly button ring
Rule 2 If the thing belongs to more than one person and the noun that
refers to these persons ends in ndashs use only an apostrophe after the ndashs
All of the studentsrsquo conversation is about Jessica
Her friendsrsquo body piercings never come upThe professorsrsquo reaction was especially
interestingIf the noun doesnrsquot end in ndashs use rsquos after it
The menrsquos faces were painted with white streaks
The womenrsquos hair was braided with vines and flowers
Rule 3 Do not use an apostrophe in the plural form of a name unless the word is also showing possession In
that case use an apostrophe after the ndashs of the pluralWe always enjoyed seeing the Kennedys
The Kennedysrsquo house always seemed warm and welcoming
Rule 4 Do not use an apostrophe in possessive forms of pronouns
yours his hers its ours or theirs
The car was missing one of its rear hubcaps
Because our car was being repaired our friends let us use theirs

combining two words into one and omitting one or more letters with an apostrophe taking the place of the omitted letter or
letters Some college instructors prefer that you not use contractions in college writing

Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words

stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

Apostrophes
An apostrophe (lsquo) is used to show possession and to form contractions
Rule 1 Use an apostrophe to show that something belongs to someone If the thing belongs to one person use rsquos after the noun that refers to the person even if the noun
already ends in ndashs
Jessicarsquos nose ring is the topic of conversation in class
Her friendrsquos ear stud however does not generate much interest
Classmates do not even know about Elvisrsquos belly button ring
Rule 2 If the thing belongs to more than one person and the noun that
refers to these persons ends in ndashs use only an apostrophe after the ndashs
All of the studentsrsquo conversation is about Jessica
Her friendsrsquo body piercings never come upThe professorsrsquo reaction was especially
interestingIf the noun doesnrsquot end in ndashs use rsquos after it
The menrsquos faces were painted with white streaks
The womenrsquos hair was braided with vines and flowers
Rule 3 Do not use an apostrophe in the plural form of a name unless the word is also showing possession In
that case use an apostrophe after the ndashs of the pluralWe always enjoyed seeing the Kennedys
The Kennedysrsquo house always seemed warm and welcoming
Rule 4 Do not use an apostrophe in possessive forms of pronouns
yours his hers its ours or theirs
The car was missing one of its rear hubcaps
Because our car was being repaired our friends let us use theirs

Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words

ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo

stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo
Quotation Marks
Do not use quotation marks around an indirect quotation one that doesnrsquot use the speakerrsquos or writerrsquos exact words An indirect quotation is usually introduced with that
Henry said that he had always wanted to study medicine

Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words

ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo

stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo
Quotation Marks
Do not use quotation marks around an indirect quotation one that doesnrsquot use the speakerrsquos or writerrsquos exact words An indirect quotation is usually introduced with that

Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo
Quotation Marks
Do not use quotation marks around an indirect quotation one that doesnrsquot use the speakerrsquos or writerrsquos exact words An indirect quotation is usually introduced with that

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words

ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo

QUOTATION MARKS
Quotation Marks
Quotation marks (ldquordquo) are used to enclose the exact words of a speaker or writer and the titles of essays articles poems songs and other short works
Rule 1 Use quotation marks to set off a speakerrsquos or a writerrsquos exact words
ldquoI canrsquot believe I said thatrdquo Joshua exclaimed
ldquoI donrsquot know what you were thinkingrdquo I replied ldquowhen you said thatrdquo
According to my textbook author ldquoWe often say things we donrsquot mean when wersquore
stressedrdquo
Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo
Quotation Marks
Do not use quotation marks around an indirect quotation one that doesnrsquot use the speakerrsquos or writerrsquos exact words An indirect quotation is usually introduced with that

Quotation MarksAs these examples show a period or a comma always goes before closing quotation marks A question mark or an exclamation mark on the
other hand sometimes goes before the quotation marks and sometimes after them It
goes before the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation
as in the first example It goes after the quotation marks if your sentence is a question or an exclamation but the quotation itself isnrsquot
as in the following exampleWhen did people begin to say ldquoHave a nice
dayrdquo
