Detailed explanation-1: -When a direct quotation is used, always include the author, year and page number as part of the citation. A quotation of fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double quotation marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure of the sentence. Parenthetical citation before punctuation mark.
Detailed explanation-2: -Short quotations (fewer than 40 words) For quotations of fewer than 40 words, add quotation marks around the words and incorporate the quote into your own text-there is no additional formatting needed. Do not insert an ellipsis at the beginning and/or end of a quotation unless the original source includes an ellipsis.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you quote directly from a source, enclose the quoted section in quotation marks. Add an in-text citation at the end of the quote with the author name and page number, like this: “Here’s a direct quote” (Smith 8). “Here’s a direct quote” ("Trouble” 22).
