Detailed explanation-1: -In MLA, an in-text citation should include the author’s last name and the page number of the material that you quote or reference. It will usually be in parentheses at the end of the sentence.
Detailed explanation-2: -You should use authors’ last names in the citation if the authors ‘ names appear in the text. You only use “et al” when you are citing a text with more than three authors. When you use quotations in the text, you place the citation before the last quotation mark.
Detailed explanation-3: -What does a MLA in-text citation include in parentheses when the source is quoted directly and the author’s name is not mentioned in the text? If the author’s last name is mentioned in the text, then it does not need to be included in parentheses.
