Should a MLA paper be typed with single space or double spaced?

Answer 1

MLA papers are ALWAYS double-spaced. Be sure to double space it before you begin typing to the document to prevent extra spaces. Some teachers take points off for that.

Answer 2

Double Spaced

Answer 3

Paper:
Use white, twenty-pound, 81/2- by 11-inch paper. Erasable paper tends to smudge and should be avoided for a final draft. If you prefer to use erasable paper in the preparation of your paper, submit a good photocopy to your instructor.

Margins:
Except for page numbers (see below), leave one-inch margins all around the text of your paper -- left side, right side, and top and bottom. Paragraphs should be indented half an inch; set-off quotations should be indented an inch from the left margin (five spaces and ten spaces, respectively, on standard typewriters).
