Lesson Use Quotation Marks or Hanging 4 Indentions for Direct Quotes
There are sometimes that we need to use someone else’s exact words to prove our point. Acknowledging the exact words from an original source should be practice always to avoid certain problems.
What’s In
Color the heart if the sentence tells something true about quotation marks.
1. It does not represent the exact words of the original source.
2. It can be used as a defense for accidental plagiarism and a good practice for academic honesty. 3. Quotation marks can be single (‘…’) and double (“…”) 4. The first letter of a direct quote should be capitalize when the text is in complete sentence. 5. Quotation marks are always in pairs. 6. Quotation marks are used in reported speech. 7. Quotation marks are used in direct speech. 8. Direct speech is not a word for word statement. 9. The question mark replaces a comma if a quoted question ends in midsentence. 10. Quotation marks can only be double and never be single. 11. Question marks always go inside quotation marks. 12. It does not come in pairs. 13.

Notes to the Teacher
The teacher must consider the prerequisite skills needed in the development of this competency including the schema or background knowledge which may reinforce learning. This module will help the learners bridge the gap of learning to attain mastery of the lesson in its spiral progression. What’s New
Quotation marks are used to give indication to the exact words of
someone else has spoken written. Quotation are always used in pairs which is placed at the beginning and end of a statement. Moreover, this mark can be double (“…”) or single (‘…’).
Direct quote is a word-for-word statement of someone including
punctuation marks. Apply double quotation marks (“…”) for direct quote.
What is It
Uses of Quotation Marks
Rule 1. Use double quotation marks to set off a direct (word-for-word) quotation. Example: “I hope you will be safe,” she said.
Rule 2. Always capitalize the first word in a complete quotation, even midsentence. Example: He said, "The number of Covid cases is decreasing."
Rule 3. Use commas to introduce or interrupt direct quotations.
Examples: He said, "I salute all front liners." "Why," I asked, "don’t you try to go the doctor?" "I ask you wear mask," he said. Rule 4. Periods and commas ALWAYS go inside quotation marks. Example: He yelled, “Stop.” The man said, “Stop.” Then he said, “Walk,” then, “Stop,” over and over again. Rule 5. The placement of question marks with quotation marks follows logic. If a question is within the quoted material, a question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks. Example: She asked, "Will you still be my friend?" (The question Will you still be my friend? is part of the quotation.) Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"? (The question Do you agree with the saying? is outside the quotation.) The question mark replaces a comma if a quoted question ends in midsentence. Example: "Will you still be my friend?" she asked.

I like it, she said. She put it in her sand pail. The girls continued to walk. Cassidy stooped down to pick up a large, flat shell. I like how smooth this one is! She looked at it more closely and frowned. It has a crack along the bottom. I'll keep looking. Marisol peered closer. I'll take it. It's really good! The girls spent another hour scanning the seashore for shells. After they walked back to their beach chairs, both girls emptied the sand pails to inspect their treasures. Wow! Look at all the shells you collected! Cassidy said to Marisol. I could only find a couple perfect shells. You found tons! Marisol grinned at her sister. That's the thing, she said. My shells aren't perfect. Most of them have chips and cracks and smudges of dirt. But they don't have to be perfect to be beautiful. I thought they were worth keeping anyway. Cassidy looked at Marisol's shells in a new way. You're right, she said. They are beautiful. I'm glad you kept them. Marisol smiled. Since I have so many, why don't we share them between us? Cassidy laughed. Yes! I'd love to have some of your perfectly imperfect shells! Independent Assessment 2(15 pt)
