Writers directly quote text from another source by using quotation marks around the borrowed words, followed by a citation that identifies the source.
How writers quote text
Quoting text in the manner described above ensures accuracy, gives credit to the original author, and allows readers to verify the quote themselves. Details like page numbers or publication dates can be included in the citation depending on the style guide.
By quoting directly, writers can add evidence to their arguments, support their claims, or offer contrasting perspectives to enrich their work.
