How do you quote a long section of a book?

Question

i know once quotes get kind of long your supposed to do something different, but what? thank you!

Answer 1

Usually if it's more than two sentences, you need to indent the quote and make the font a little smaller and if you're double spacing, use single spacing for the quote. And you should cite the original author at the end of that smaller paragraph.  Happy writing!

Answer 2

if it's mla style, indent each line twice. you also don't need to put quotes around it

Answer 3

Do a block quote: Indent at both ends and single space if it's over 4 lines.

Answer 4

If it's more than 4 lines, you have to indent each line.

Answer 5

You indent the entire quote and do not use quotation marks. For example:

John (2008) states

        blah.......................................

        blah..............................

        blah

        blah

then go back to finishing your paragraph without.
