  1. "He said 'Never let them down Sammy' and thats what got their attention"

    You use the apostrophe's as mini quotes


  2. the quotation should be given from the original. the person that the person quoted.

  3. Use sub quotes.

    For Example; "Remember, he said 'tread lightly or face your doom'."

  4. Wow!  How many people can copy and paste?  I'm proud of all of you.  And your mothers said you would never amount to anything.  

    What's really a shame here is that there's only one right answer out of the entire 10 - quote the original.  There's no need to quote someone quoting someone.  It's redundant.  Get it?

  5. "He said, 'Never let them down Sammy,' and that's what got thier attention."
