Sometimes we wonder if we are using the correct and proper way of inserting quotation in writing. It can be a bit complicated if you are not sure on where you are going to place it. Without the proper way of using these quotations, your whole content will be in a terrible mess. You need to be very aware in using them.
As for beginners, placing quotations as part of your writing which has relevant information about your topic will add emphasis and strong points in your contents. That is, if you know how to make it work. It is not just merely inserting quotations to any parts of your context. Also, it is not about how many quotations you will add in your writing and who are these prominent person that quotes a certain speech.
As what I have said a while ago, quotations add emphasis in your writings. it also adds merits and credibility in order to produce an effective and well-written content. however, it has to be related to your topic and what you are going to imply. As it supports your ideas, therefore it needs special attention and consideration on how and when you are going to place it in your contents.
If you are going to include quotations in your writings, be always careful on how to use them. If you want to be guided properly, there are ways, techniques or guides that will help you on the proper and correct way of using quotations in writing.
Using quotations is an effective way to lend an authoritative tone of your writing. Done right, it will help engage your readers in ways you may not be able to achieve as easily using your own words.
It�s important to note, though, that you have to use the right quote.
If you�re an avid reader, you�ve probably seen multiple instances of badly-inserted quotes. Poor ones tend to make the piece unnecessarily longer, while adding no actual value; terrible ones, on the other hand, muddle the overall message and can leave your text severely confusing.
While employing a fitting quote is largely indispensable to many pieces of good writing (just like using a qualified grammar software), it�s just as crucial to use it in the correct way. Before integrating someone else�s words into your text, ask yourself:
��Is your understanding of the original author�s point jive with their actual intentions?�
��Does it fit in properly within the context of your piece?�
��Will it clarify the overall message for your reader or simply confuse it?�
If you�re the author of an original statement that�s quoted out of context, how would you feel? For the most part, it�s fair to assume, you�ll probably be outraged or, at least, mildly irritated. That�s why it�s imperative to make sure you�re quoting properly, to spare the source of the statement the same unnecessary grief.
Even worse, a mismatched quotation will ruin you in the eyes of your reader. It�s a one-way ticket to losing credibility before they�ve even finished the entire piece.
