- In American English, use double quotation marks for quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations.
- In British English, use single quotation marks for quotations and double quotation marks for quotations within quotations.
The rules for using quotation marks can seem complicated, but once you understand the basic principles, it’s not so bad. But what do you do when you’ve got a quote within a quote? Read on to find out.
The outer quotes (1 & 4) tell Excel this is text, the 2nd quote tells Excel to escape the next character, and the 3rd quote is displayed. If you want to add the movie to other text to create, you can concatenate the movie title inside double quotes with a formula like this: =. The rules for quoting part of a sentence are a little different than quoting the full sentence. Les courtiers en douane sont actuellement tenus de confirmer l'existence d'une quote-part avant de faire une demande. Customs Brokers currently have an obligation to confirm availability of quota before making an application.
Quotations Within Quotations
Why would you ever have a quotation within a quotation? Lots of reasons. For example, a character in a story may quote someone else aloud.
The example above uses American-style quotation marks. The main quote is enclosed in double quotation marks. The quote within the quote, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, is enclosed in single quotation marks. (The British convention is the opposite; the main quote would use single quotation marks and the quote within the quote would use double quotation marks.) If your single and double quotation marks end up next to each other (either at the beginning or end of the quote), you don’t need to add a space between them.
Quoting a Quote
How do you quote a quote? That is to say, what do you do when you’re quoting material that already contains a quote? The principle doesn’t change. In American English, use double quotes for the outside quote and single quotes for the inside quote. In British English, do the opposite.
Let’s say you need to quote a book for an essay, and the passage you have in mind contains a quote from some other source.
Imagine the original passage from the book looks like this:
When you quote from this passage, you might say:
Notice that the quotes around there’s no such thing as a free lunch, Jimmy were double quotes in the original passage. But when you quote the passage, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, Jimmy becomes a quote within a quote, so you should change them to single quotation marks.
What does 'quote-unquote' mean? When do you use it?
When do you use this term - 'quote-unquote'? When you want to qoute somebody?
It's just a way of speaking the written quotation marks ' ', the first marking the beginning of the quote ('quote'), the second marking the end of the quotation ('unquote'). I never use the expression in conversation, but might when reading a passage where it might be unclear to a listener that a quotation was being read.
I've heard people use the expression in conversation to emphasize or clarify that they are quoting someone exactly and not just paraphrasing.
You might hear something like the following:
Abraham Lincoln said, quote, Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, unquote, before an audience at the cemetery dedication after the battle.
or in informal conversation:
I heard you say, quote/unquote, 'I never want to go with to that restaurant again.'
or
I heard you say, quote, 'I never want to go with to that restaurant again.' unquote
For the latter, I'd probably be more likely to say:
I heard you say, and I quote, 'I never want to go to that restaurant again.'
(The words 'quote' and 'quotation' are used interchangeably as nouns.)
