English 10 Grammar & Writing #16Mr. Rinka Underlining, Italics, Quotation Marks TOEFL Vocabulary List #11

Underlining & Italics Underlining is used when you are handwriting a paper to indicate that the words would be italicized if published. When using a word processor on a computer, use italics instead of underlining. I will use the word italicize throughout this lesson.

Underlining & Italics Italicize titles of books, plays, long poems, films, periodicals, works of art, recordings, long musical works, television series, trains, ships, aircraft, and spaceships. We read Romeo and Juliet in English 9.

Underlining & Italics I enjoyed the movie Inception. We all loved Homer’s Odyssey. I read the New York Times every day. The Titanic sank April 15, 1912.

Underlining & Italics Only Italicize articles (the, a, an) at the beginning of a title if they are a part of the official title. We watched The Day the Earth Stood Still. We rode on the Orient Express.

Underlining & Italics Italicize words, letters, and figures referred to as such and foreign words not part of the English language. The word rhythm is hard to spell. That 4 you wrote almost looks like a 9. Ennui is an emotional state of unfeeling.

Quotation Marks Use Quotation Marks to enclose a direct quote (speakers exact words). Mom said, “Be sure you pick up your room.” “I’ll see you later,” Bill told Joe.

Quotation Marks A Direct Quote is one that repeats the exact word that the speaker used. Dad said, “Do your homework, now!” The man said, “You’ll have to wait in line.”

Quotation Marks An Indirect Quote does not repeat the exact words of the speaker by telling what the speaker meant. Dad told us that we had to do our homework, now.

Quotation Marks Do not include an interrupting statement in Quotation Marks. “I will leave,” Kim said, “when the last speaker finishes.” “Stop!” Cal yelled, “before you hurt yourself.”

Quotation Marks When two or more sentences appear in the same quote, use just one set of Quotation Marks. Dad said, “I bought a new car. It’s a Ford.” “Come here. I want to tell you about my weekend,” Steve said to me.

Quotation Marks If a sentence in a quote is interrupted, the continuation of the quote does not start with a capital letter. “I hope,” Jim said, “to start my job soon.” “I wonder,” Mom said, “who ate the last of the cookies.”

Quotation Marks If the second part of a quote is a new sentence, a period follows the interrupting expression. The second part begins with a capital letter. “I’m going now,” Dad said. “Don’t forget to do your homework.”

Quotation Marks A direct quotation is set off the from the rest of the sentence by a comma, a question mark or an exclamation point. Pete explained, “I love to play soccer,” as he raced off to practice.

Quotation Marks “Do you have my books?” Joe asked his friend Paul. My friend yelled, “Watch out for that car!” as I entered the street without looking.

Quotation Marks Follow these rules when placing other marks of punctuation with Quotation Marks.

Quotation Marks Periods and commas are always placed inside the closing Quotation Marks. “I haven’t seen you lately,” my friend said to me, “but I think of you often.”

Quotation Marks Colons and semicolons are always placed outside the closing Quotation Marks. My coach said, “Play your hardest today, and good things will happen”; we did and won the game.

Quotation Marks The following players on our team were nominated for “2010 Offensive Player of the Year”: Juan Sanchez, Raoul Rodriquez, and Jose Cortez.

Quotation Marks Question marks and exclamation marks are placed inside the closing Quotation Marks if the quotation is a question or an exclamation; otherwise, they are placed outside.

Quotation Marks “Are you students ready for the exam?” the teacher asked the class. “Yes!” we all replied. “Can we start now?”

Quotation Marks Do you understand the expression “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush”? I love the poem “Trees”!

Quotation Marks When writing dialogue (conversation) begin a new paragraph whenever the speaker changes.

"When he went away he was a slip of a youth in the warehouse. Now look at him.” "He don't look to have taken much harm," said Mrs. White, politely. "I'd like to go to India myself," said the old man, "just to look round a bit, you know.” "Better where you are," said the sergeant-major, shaking his head.

put down the empty glass, and sighing softly, shook it again. "I should like to see those old temples and fakirs and jugglers," said the old man. "What was that you started telling me the other day about a monkey's paw or something, Morris?” "Nothing," said the soldier, hastily. "Leastways nothing worth hearing.” "Monkey's paw?" said Mr. White, curiously.

Quotation Marks When quoting a passage of more than one paragraph, place Quotation Marks at the beginning of each paragraph but only at the end of the last paragraph.

Quotation Marks “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. “I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Quotation Marks You must use single Quotation Marks to enclose a quotation within a quotation.” My history teacher said, “It was Patrick Henry who said ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’”

Quotation Marks The choir director asked, “Who knows the song ‘Autumn Leaves’?” Mom shouted, “How dare you say ‘I’m not hungry’! I cooked all day.”

Quotation Marks Use Quotation Marks to enclose slang words, technical terms, and other special uses of words. When I was young, everyone used the term “out of sight” to express pleasure with something or some event.
