  • MLA Citations
  • Pay attention to where the parentheses and the 
   punctuation go.
  • Go through your essay.  Wherever you used 
   outside information include a citation.  The 
   citation should be the author’s last name in 
   parentheses.
  • If no author is given, put the first few words of the 
   title in quotation marks in parentheses.

  • Who uses quotations?
  • Use quotations sparingly.  You use a quotation 
    when you want to highlight the words 
    themselves.
  • Make sure that quotations flow with your text.
  • It might be helpful for you to use quotations when 
    you are addressing contrary views.  This way it 
    becomes clear that you are not distorting your 
    opponents’ arguments.
    Quoting, Paraphrasing, and 
          Summarizing
  • Do not begin or end paragraphs with quotations.
  • Quotations should flow with your own text.
  • You should introduce quotations before the 
    quotation marks and provide additional 
    commentary in the sentence or sentences after 
    the quotation marks.
