Grammar & Punctuation : Teaching Quotation Marks - By eHow
Transcript
| 00:0-1 | Hi . I'm here to teach you about how to | |
| 00:01 | use quotation marks . Um , one of the most | |
| 00:03 | common ways is around quoted material . So if you're | |
| 00:08 | quoting the exact words that someone has said or written | |
| 00:11 | , you'd use quotation marks . Don't be silly , | |
| 00:13 | said Sarah . Um , you'd also use quotation marks | |
| 00:17 | around certain types of titles , not book titles , | |
| 00:20 | but chapters of books , poems , songs , that | |
| 00:24 | sort of thing . Um , for example , the | |
| 00:26 | song Roxanne by the police . You'd also use quotation | |
| 00:30 | marks around words if you're talking about those words . | |
| 00:34 | So , for example , he often uses the word | |
| 00:37 | plethora , but I don't think he knows what it | |
| 00:39 | means . So when it comes to using other punctuation | |
| 00:43 | with quotation marks , um , there are a couple | |
| 00:46 | of pretty straightforward rules when you're using commas or periods | |
| 00:51 | , those , they're gonna go inside the quotation marks | |
| 00:54 | . So stop , he said . And you put | |
| 00:57 | the comma inside with colons and semicolons those they're going | |
| 01:00 | to go on the outside . So he said , | |
| 01:04 | I'll just have one . However he really wanted to | |
| 01:08 | , and with question marks and exclamation marks , those | |
| 01:12 | Congar oh , either way , and what that depends | |
| 01:15 | on is whether they're part of the quoted material or | |
| 01:17 | part of the sentence as a whole . So in | |
| 01:20 | this case , did you hear that ? She asked | |
| 01:23 | . The question is part of the quote versus Did | |
| 01:27 | you hear him say the meeting starts at two . | |
| 01:30 | The meeting starts at two . Isn't a question , | |
| 01:32 | but the larger sentence Did you hear him say that | |
| 01:36 | ? That is a question . So you put the | |
| 01:38 | question mark on the outside of the quotation marks . |
