Quoting and Citing When writing we quote to

Quoting and Citing • When writing, we quote to show information that is not original to our own minds – it is borrowed. • We use a citation to show from where the information came – the source. • QUOTES NEVER STAND ALONE. QUOTES and CITATIONS ARE ALWAYS INSIDE OF A SENTENCE.
