You know when you write a quote,

( Take 'the dog jumped over the fence' as an example.. )

And you hafta put little inverted comma's or

whatever they are called .. ( " ) around the quote followed by the page number in brackets..

Eg. "The dog jumped over the fence"(p. 3)

How do you write it when the quote goes over two pages?

  1. "The dog jumped over the fence"(p. 3-4)


  2. The fact that the cited material extends to a following page does not affect the use of the quotation marks. However, when you are giving the reference you include the pages--e. g.,

    According a government report, "the incidence of felling beech trees in midwestern forests has declined as the number of trees has been diminished by loggers and site clearing" (Smith 43-4).

  3. those little inverted comma's are called quotation marks... weird... go figure
