12. INDENTED QUOTES
Sometimes in an essay, you will use a
long quotation. But, no quotation longer
than five lines should be within the body
of the text of your essay. If you choose
to use a long quotation (longer than five
lines of text), then you should indent the
quotation.
13. ADVICE
We recommend that you use them as
often as possible. However, follow these
rules so that you use them correctly. If
you use a quotation without citing , you
could be accused of plagiarism (or
copying someone else's words as your
own).
15. PUNCTUATION

marks and signs in writing and
printing to separate words into
sentences, clauses, and phrases in
