#QUOTATION_MARKS (') The precise rule for quotation marks vary greatly from language to language and even from country to country within the English speaking world. In North American usage, you should place double quotation marks (') before and after directly quoted marterials and words of dialogue. Examlpe: 1. One critic ended his glowing review with this superlative ' it is simply the best film ever made about potato farming'. You can use quotation marks to set off certain titles, usually these of minor or short words.....essay, short stories, short poems, songs, articles in periodicals etc. Examples: 1. When i was sick, my father read me a story called 'the happy flower', which was later made into a movie entitle flower child starring tiny tin. Sometimes you will use quotation marks to set off words specifically referred to as term, through some publishers prefer italics. Examples: 1. I know you like word 'unique' but do you really have to use it ten times in one essay? 2. 'Well' is sometimes noun sometimes adjective sometimes adverb and sometimes verb. #MBA
