Overview

Quotation marks show us which words are part of a conversation or something that someone has said. They show when someone is talking. Quotation marks work in pairs - they are used at the beginning and the end of a quote to separate it from the rest of the writing. You might hear them go by two other names: quotes or inverted commas. In this classroom resource, the students will learn where to place quotation marks. This resource offers informational material, videos, games, quizzes, and worksheets to help further understand this concept.
