When writers want to use someone else's words in their writing, they can directly quote the text. This means they copy the exact words the other person wrote and put them into their own writing. They have to use quotation marks around the copied words to show that they are not their own. It's important for writers to do this when they want to share someone else's ideas or prove something they are saying by using evidence from another source.
