MLA in-text citation style uses the author's last name and the page number from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken, for example: (Smith 163). If the source does not use page numbers, do not include a number in the parenthetical citation

Answer:

In-text citations in an MLA format usually go as this:

"This is a quote from a book" (Smith, 3).

John Smith said that xyz in his book How to Cite Sources Correctly.

This is a paraphrased version of a book (Smith, 5).

There is more with articles, videos, etc, but this is a pretty basic form.
