Part II
Read through this on integrating quotes into your text
Use present tense verbs to announce the passage you are quoting:
Mary Smith argues
Joe Hamburg asserts
Benson and Stabler declare
Use the colon : or comma , after the introductory verb and the quoted passage.
Joe Hamburg asserts:
the colon : is more appropriate for academic writing
John says,
the comma is more appropriate for dialogue as used in short stories
Sometimes you need to add information to the passage you are quoting. In the original source, the passage makes sense, but when you remove the passage and insert it as a quote into your paper, it loses its meaning. For instance, “She says the problem is getting out of control.”
You place this passage in your paper and suddenly, who is “she”? Do this to clarify:
“She [Toni Morrison] says the problem is getting out of control.”
Add information carefully making sure that you don’t change the original meaning of the source.
Sometimes a passage may be rather lengthy, and you decide you don’t want to use the entire passage. You can remove information. In the space where the information would belong, place […] in its place. This is called an ellipses.
Once again, be sure not to change the meaning of the source.
