A direct quotation reports something that someone said. Quatation marks (" ") indicate that the words inside are exactly as they were spoken. The speaker may be identified at the beginning, in the middle,or at the end of quotation.
Examples:
Oliver Kahn, the beaten German goalkeeper and captain, could only say: "This is not about your club, it's about the entire nation."
"We discovered unity in our people," said Chung Mong Joon.
The word Cup has been a lifetime experience, "he said, "an even if in the end we were disappointed to lose the semifinal, I can say that I worked in FIFA for ten years without understanding the full impact of the World Cup."
When reporters interview people, they ask direct quwstions and said write down the exact words people say. They use these direct quotations to support their man ideas and to make their articlesmore lively and convincing.
