Quotations can help your writing in such a way that you also follow the basic rules on how to write them well. To avoid plagiarism, which is an illegal act to normally �copy someone�s work and claiming it your as your own�, you need to use quotations when stating someone�s opinion which can related to your topic.
Sometimes, when doing a research for your next writing projects, you can include certain information that can help you with your study and place it within a quotation especially if it was owned by someone of by an organization. This serves as your reference or source of information in order for you not to copy it illegally.
Same goes when you are writing for a very controversial topic where you need to persuade or influence the public by stating your own thoughts and most especially, to support it base from real facts or statements from a very prominent and reliable person. Quoting their statements within your writing can help you verify your ideas and in order for you to please your reader�s interest and to hook their attentions towards your writing.
However, not only in these situations where you can freely use quotations for your writing tasks, there are a lot of cases where you need to use it especially in writing. There are also basic rules to follow and all you have to do is to obey it for you to provide quality contents
Meanwhile, some writers fail to effectively write quotations and end up overusing it. As a result, you can�t find total satisfaction while reading their work and most of all, you can�t be sure if they had illegally altered someone�s work as they didn�t even know how to use it well in their writings.
Thinking of adding quotes to help bolster the arguments in your piece? Here�s how to do it effectively:
1. Get quotes from interesting personalities. A quote from a scientist at the local university is fine; getting it from someone who just published a controversial book related to the matter is bound to draw more attention.
2. Break up long quotations to make them easier to read. This is why you rarely see well-written pieces with the same quotation blocked on a single sequence. As a rule, shorter quotes that manage to express an idea are better than longer ones.
3. Use simple verbs when giving attribution for the quote. Going the �he said� and �she said� route is perfectly acceptable, but substituting �declares,� �points out,� �advises� and similar terms is bound to read much better.
4. Keep a file of good quotes while doing your research. Always read with an eye for a memorable passage and take it down. You never know when you�ll find something useful.
5. Use quotes in the beginning and closing of paragraphs. Those two areas have natural emphasis, so using quotes allow them to make the most impact.
Make sure to check quotes for grammatical errors using a quality writing software and insert noted corrections. Not doing so leaves readers thinking you made the mistake � that can affect adversely how the readers respond to your writing.
