How do you cite mutliple sentences that are from the same source?

Question

For a sentence with information from a specific book, I need to cite it in this format: (Author, Year). I have 3 consecutive sentences that refer to the same source. Do I cite each sentence or do I just cite one? How do I go about doing this? Thanks!

Answer 1

If they're consecutive in the source, why not quote all three of them together, as they appear in the source, and cite the passage once? (If you do this, the passage may be long enough that, instead of putting it in quotation marks, you should indent it at each end and single-space it, without q. marks.) If you find it more suitable to for your purpose to quote each sentence separately, with words of your own introducing it or providing transition, then cite each one separately.
