Start with a sentence or two that shows the reader why you are including the quote and how it fits into your argument. After the introductory sentence, add a <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//language-rules//colons///">colon<\/a>, and then start the quote on a new line.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Format the quote<\/h3>\n<p>Like the rest of your<a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//mla//formatting///"> MLA format<\/a> paper, the block quote should be double spaced. Indent the entire quote half an inch from the left margin. Include the same <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//language-rules//capitalization-rules///">capitalization<\/a>, punctuation, and line breaks as appear in the original text.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Cite the quote<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of the quote, add an <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//mla//in-text-citations///">MLA in-text citation<\/a> directly after the final punctuation mark. This contains the name of the <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//mla//authors///">author(s)<\/a> and the page number(s) from which the quote is taken.<\/p>\n<p>Every in-text citation must correspond to an entry in the <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//mla//works-cited///">Works Cited<\/a> list. You can create citations using our free <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//citation//generator//mla///">MLA citation generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Comment on the quote<\/h3>\n<p>Under the block quote, analyze or comment on the quoted text. Never end a <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//research-paper//paragraph-structure///">paragraph<\/a> with a block quote \u2013 you should always start and end in your own words.<\/p>\n<h2>Block quote examples<\/h2>\n<p>Use the tabs to navigate between the examples for quoting prose and <a href=https://www.scribbr.com/"https:////www.scribbr.com//mla//poem-citation///">quoting poetry<\/a>.
