DOUBLE QUOTATIONS

Definition

Double quotations are a pair of punctuation marks used to cite the beginning and end of a quote from a book, article, interview, etc. that was reiterated by someone else verbatim.

For example, this quote, “We cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.” is from Rev. Martin Luther King’s I Have A Dream speech

Lyrics

All around my stat

All around my statements yea

 

Single quotations

Double quotations

All around my statements

All around my statements yea

Single quotations

Double quotations

All around my statements

All around my statements yea

 

 

Quotation mark use the the mark

In the beginning of a title or a phrase

Single quotation mark means kind of similar

To what I’m saying

But you can use double quotation marks

When you quote one of my verses

Because I want you to say

To those who never heard this

Some use quotation marks

In magazines and book titles

Boring plays and movies

Fire hooks and song titles

Put double quotation marks

Around every one of my statements

 Because when I make a statement

You can grade it in pavement

 

Single quotations

Double quotations

All around my statements

All around my statements yea

Single quotations

Double quotations

All around my statements

All around my statements yea
