Question

You know how if you copy a sentence from a book, you put quotations around it right? what if the sentence already has quotations around it? do you just put one set of quotation marks or is there something special you do to it?

for my homework, the sentence i have to copy from this book looks exactly like this:
"I called you California, your real, honest, and true name, given to you by Uncle Kanda to commemorate your birth in this glorious state," I said.

the teacher said to put quotation marks around the sentence since i am copying it from the book but i don't know how to do it with this sentence

is "I said" part of the sentence?

Answer 1

you just leave it like that with the quotation

Answer 2

Double quotation marks to begin with, and at the end, after I said, closing quotation marks: 'I said' is part of the quote!

Answer 3

I guess one set of quotation marks is enough. They are just for conveying the fact that they are plagiarized lines. The author of your reference book has that because he has used it from some other book. So one should be enough.

Answer 4

Example:

" 'this is how you put double quotations when quoting something from a book'-10aDay "(Yahoo Answers).

Answer 5

The sentence is more important than who has stated it.

Answer 6

one set
