 Introduction
What is the meaning of Quotation Marks?

Quotation marks show that someone is speaking.

They come at the beginning and end of the speaker’s exact words, for example:
“Let’s go swimming,” I said.
#Note:
Punctuation appears inside quotation marks.
For example: “ Did you the homework?” the teacher asked.
When we put the quotation marks:-
• If the end of a quotation comes at the end of sentence, end the
sentence with a period, question mark, or exclamation mark.

For example: Mom said, “Let’s turn on the TV to see if there is an

announcement.”
We can see the sentence it ends with a period.

• If the sentence continues after a quotation, close the quotation with

a comma, question mark, or exclamation mark.

For example: “We had lots of snow last night,” said Mom.
We cam see there is continues for the sentence we put a comma.
• Use quotation marks at the beginning and end of a
speaker’s exact words.

• Commas and periods always appear inside quotation

marks.

• The helping verb must agree with the subject of the

sentence in simple and compound sentences.
