MLA MULTIPLE QUOTES IN ONE SENTENCE

by

In MLA format, if you need to cite multiple quotes within a single sentence, you can use the following guidelines:

Use a signal phrase or introductory clause before the first quote.

Example: According to Smith, “quote 1” and “quote 2”

Separate each quote with a semicolon and enclose them in double quotation marks.

Example: According to Smith, “quote 1”; “quote 2”

Provide the page number(s) or paragraph number(s) where the quotes are found. Place the citation in parentheses at the end of the sentence.

Example: According to Smith, “quote 1”; “quote 2”

Note: If the quotes are from different sources, include the author’s last name along with the page number(s) or paragraph number(s) for each quote.

Example: According to Smith, “quote 1”

(34); Johnson also states, “quote 3”

Remember to adjust the specific details (such as author names, page numbers, or paragraph numbers) according to the sources you are citing.
