Quoting from a text
A quote, or quotation, is a piece of text that you copy from a larger piece of text. This can be a word, a part of a sentence, a whole sentence or even a couple of sentences.
When you want to quote from a text, you start with single quotation marks (‘). Copy the first two words, add ... to indicate you’ve left out a piece, and end again with single quotation marks (‘).
For instance, if you want to quote the first sentence of this strategy block, it goes as follows: ‘A quote ... of text.’
Remember the following:
– If you’re quoting a whole sentence, start with a capital letter.
– If you’re only quoting part of a sentence, don’t start with a capital letter.
