Writers directly quote text from another source by using quotation marks to enclose the exact words or phrases from the source. This helps to indicate that the words are not the writer's own, but rather taken directly from the source. Additionally, writers often include the author's name and the page number from where the quote was taken, in order to provide proper credit and allow readers to easily locate the original source. When using direct quotes, it is important for writers to accurately reproduce the words and maintain the original punctuation and formatting.
