• set off particular words or phrases

• quote someone else’s words in professional writing

Learning how to use quotation marks correctly in sentences can be hard. This is where quotation marks worksheets can help. Look for dialogue worksheets and quotation marks practice pages that incorporate all the uses of quotation marks.
