When using a direct quotation, how do you signify that the words are not yours?
Answer (2)
When you put the quotation marks you then write said (name of whoever that is talking) e.g ''I took timmy for a walk''said lisa
To signify that the words in a direct quotation are not your own, use quotation marks around the quoted text and provide a citation to credit the original source. You can also introduce the quote with the author's name for context. If the quotation is more than four lines, format it as a block quote.
