Formula:
The quoted language can be independent, and punctuation marks are in quotation marks.
The language quoted is not independent, and punctuation marks are outside quotation marks.
The specific use method is as follows:
1. If the reference is independent and the meaning is complete, put the period in quotation marks.
Example: I think of a poem by Jia Dao in the Tang Dynasty: "But through these clouds, how do I know which corner of the mountain it is facing?" ."
2. If the quotation is incomplete or used as part of the writing, the period will be put outside quotation marks or not used.
There are two situations:
(1) There is no need to pause before the quotation mark ends, so there cannot be any punctuation after it.
For example, "looking down on a thousand fingers and bowing down as a willing ox" is a portrayal of Mr. Lu Xun's actions.
(2) The quotation marks only need to stop at the end, so the period should follow the quotation marks.
Example: Alleys, springs, green grass and moss have all become elusive shadows-it can really be said that "dreams are deep and deep, and every street and lane is always close to love".
How to punctuate words again?
A question about distinguishing punctuation marks from right in the Chinese examination paper of Tianjin college entrance examination in 2004 is like this: "Learning is afraid of the word' earnest'.
"Teacher Zhang said," ... It really makes sense that attitude decides everything.
"Colons are generally used after suggestive words or before general words, which have the function of prompting below or summarizing above.
In this sentence, the words in two double quotation marks are the direct quotation of "Teacher Zhang", which is what Teacher Zhang said directly.
If you put "teacher Zhang said" at the beginning of the sentence, then the colon after "said" is used correctly, and the colon means to mention it below.
But in this sentence, "Teacher Zhang said" is placed between two quotations and inserted in the direct quotation, which appears as a supplementary explanation to explain the speaker's situation, not the following reminder or the above summary. In this case, "said" should be followed by a comma instead of a colon.
Many people are prone to make mistakes on this issue, so pay attention to it.
"So-and-so" is in front of the quotation, and the punctuation marks behind it are marked with bold symbols; "so-and-so" is inserted in the middle of the quotation, and the quotation before and after it is what one person said, and a comma should be used after "so-and-so"; "So-and-so said" comes after quotation marks, so the mark after it should be a period.
