hi my name is Tina I'm an English
teacher and today I'll be discussing
ways to incorporate a quote into an
essay now there are three ways that you
can do this the first one is to start
with an introductory phrase and these
are phrases that introduce the quote in
different words one of the most common
examples is to start with according to
and you can include the author and then
begin the quote itself the next thing
you can do is try a semicolon a
semicolon is close to an introductory
phrase but instead of having to put
according to the author or the writer
you would put a statement of the main
idea itself so eating right is best
place a colon the quote from whatever
research you found then the period also
make sure to cite everything that you do
when you quote the final thing is you
can chop it up you don't have to do the
entire quote but just bits and pieces so
very similar to this top one but you
don't have to take the entire sentence
maybe you just like a really good phrase
from that quote and once again cite your
source my name is Tina that was once
again ways to incorporate a quote into
an essay
