GLarts: Introducing a Quote

Tips for introducing a quote in your paragraph:

  • Start with your own words, not the quote.
  • make sure that punctuation and grammar still works
  • use a better verb than "says"
  • cite the specific source in parenthesis at the end of the sentence before the period (Sullivan, p. 41)
  • Mention the author or website (if author is unknown)
