That’s really useful, it could paraphrase the entire class 3 hours into 10 mins ,many thanks 🙏🏻

[@city-boy60644]

Best video Ive watched regarding MLA citations. You have explained in 10 minutes what it has taken me a full semester to try and figure out. Thanks!!

[@cassandrawilson6442]

I didn't catch your name? MLA and APA always scare the crap out of me ( mostly because it gets so confusing and I feel like I was never really properly taught how to use them) but you did a great job breaking this down. Your speaking voice is confident and clear, the arrows throughout the presentation are very helpful and I never felt lost while watching the video. You should teach a class on this. Thanks so much!

[@joanyb]

May I thank you, because you literally SAVED MY LIFE!!! Thanks soooo much😍

[@shukranigray515]

I've watched a couple of these In-Text Citations MLA videos... this is the best one yet. Thanks so much! It was exactly what I needed.

[@Justrippedout]

Honestly, thank you so much for these videos. My son has had some medical issues lately and I've been missing a fair amount of school and I just found out I had an assignment due today using MLA which I have never even heard of before I began my paper and this video explained it perfectly! I've got a nice little step by step section in my notes on MLA now based on this video for me to reference lol.

[@renacevedo]

did you get a good grade on your paper?

[@deletedaccount5250]

6 years later still great video, thank you 🙏

[@23dadafamily]

Very informative, I actually learnt more than i anticipated. Thank you.

[@sharlieandrews9580]

Hey u did a great job on this explanation of in text citations, u mention that it might b confusing, but u were totally wrong, there was no confusion, thank u for the great instructions.

[@stephanied315]

I used the UNHMM. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. It didn't really give an author but I used it and my instructor said it was a reliable source. I don't think because an author does not state their name,that it means the article or site is unreliable. If anything, most of the time I have come across many sites that don't give an author but are extremely reliable. Large organizations, like the Holocaust Museum research the field thoroughly by going to the site of their article or getting first hand accounts. Even sometimes, those sites arecollaborated with many other people that are on the same team or that make up the organization that you're citing. But thank you for the video it was extremely helpful

[@ShadraqsVids16]

This is why math is the best subject. 2+2 will always = 4. MLA format and English change every year.

[@thetristateadjunct3887]

Re. your first sample slide: When quoting, if you insist on using the word "that" to introduce your quotation, you would not place a comma after it. It is a subordinator and you are creating a subordinate clause: a comma never follows the subordinator. It doesn't matter that you're following it with a quote. Also, because you are using "that," in addition to dropping the comma you need to lowercase the first word of the quote, putting the "t" in brackets, indicating your edit. But, really, the recommended way to do this would be to drop the "that," keep the comma, and keep the capital letter -- thereby minimizing your necessary edits. "Suggests" is a communication verb that can take an object right after it.

[@senorguacomole1172]

Gracias Señor Artes del Lenguaje. ¡Ahora puedo finalmente saber hacer un papel en inglés! Yo suscritos. Sigan con el buen trabajo, señor!

[@beccanetta]

Just an FYI, with the Bestul signal phrase example, there should be a comma OR "that" but not both. A comma and "that" basically serve the same function in most instances: linking one idea to the next, e.g. "I think that I'm crazy about grammar and punctuation." Sorry...my friends call me a grammar and punctuation gorilla for good reason.

[@b.k.1925]

Just a question. When I mention the name of the author for example : According to Tomas Billitery author and journalist "Half of high school students said they bullied someone in the past year....." (Tomas Billiteli) Is necessary to write his name again between quotation at the end of the paragraph ??? Thank you

[@jenniferadomako5757]

[@tska8473]

what do you do if you are paraphrasing but need to quote some words in the middle of the sentence, or you have paraphrase that lasts multiple sentences from the same source.

[@samrosemartin5813]

I have a couple questions, if you are putting information from a book and an online source, do you put the citations separately or together? And do you put the author's last name before first name or first name then last? If your'e writing 2 authors for 2 things such as from a journal article and book

[@बुंदेलखंडएकरहस्य]

amazing vid but What is Ibid, emphasis added and other jargon.

[@ameenaah12]

If i am citing from an online article that has NO date, do I put that in the text ?? e.g. ("The Constitution of the United States" n.d.) or do I just completely leave it out?

[@resevil2396]

okay, here's something I can't find any info on: For an in-text citation of a video (be it youtube, a TV show/special, a film) you only need to use either the authors name (if known) or a shortened (to 3 words) name of the video. You DO NOT need to add a specific time in the film that you are quoting or referencing, correct?

[@jmonsegue]

Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@xKois]

So I have a question. I cited a source and used some information from the article, let's say it was in paragraph 5, then I used another piece of information after that from paragraph 3. Do I cite it like this, "Blah blah blah (PennState par.5). Blah blah blah (PennState par.3)" or is there a different way?

[@ivaniac.954]

OMG. Thankyou so much. This literally helped me right now for my AP Literature Summer Work on MLA Format. THANKS SO MUCH THIS IS SO EASY NOWWW.

How do you quote the opening narration of a TV show that is used in only in 2 of 7 seasons?

[@scottminikhiem1399]

My english teacher does it different and then marks me wrong when I've been using online 7th edition mla to do citations... like what am even doing at this school

[@thomaslashley3853]

Thanks for making this. It is really helpful. Could you also make a video on how to write an aside in an MLA paper. For example: If I said in an essay "It was during the second war(the Rif war), that the Spanish suffered an embarrassing and costly defeat in a small town called Annual."

[@thegodofwater75]

you have saved my life.

[@kimi936]

what if when u write something based on a web page you founded on, didnt write word by word i paraphrased it but dont know how to let the reader know it wasnt mine wrote it to support something i wrote previously

[@joannheck-meiter8201]

There should NOT be a comma after the word"that" when used in the example Bestful suggests that "the large number of manuscripts shows that the work was popular and widely read into the 16th Century" (921).

[@Yoyoman835]

+Joann Heck-Meiter I think you might be wrong there. Maybe you just do it differently, but I always hear you need the comma before the quotation marks, even if it is a sentence flowing into the quote. That's just what I've been taught.

[@timothyso9781]

Thanks for the good stuff, sir.

[@gaylepatterson8127]

OMG, this is so helpful. thanks

[@michaelsiu6451]

I'm trying to cite an Article. It's only a page long, and the last name is Rampell. How would i do this?

[@aikslf]

If it's an in-text citation for an online resource with a known author, do we just write the author's first name or the last name or both? And if both, does the first name come first or the last name?

[@shararatigang8190]

It is interesting the way you teach about citations so fluidly and yet do not give the links in the description :P

[@androshchukx]

Are these rules still the same, or have they changed since 2014?

[@FL3SHST1CK]

hey bud, this def helped get me on the right track! thanks

What if instead of the author's name, the book's name is placed inside the parenthesis along with the page number?

I'm a biology student and when not exactly citing but paraphrasing some information in a review article or a dissertation, to reference the source in-text, we use instead of: "(Author, page)" this "(Author, year)", why, is it wrong?

[@Kaniela6759]

Zhannie Orlova Hi Zhannie. Many types of documentation exist, and each one is a little different. MLA requires the author's name either in a signal phrase at the beginning of the sentence that you've included outside information or at the end in the parentheses. For example: Dr. John Smith explains how photosynthesis helps plants get their fuel (20). For example: One author explains how photosynthesis helps plants get their fuel (Smith 20). (PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO COMMA BETWEEN THE AUTHOR'S NAME AND PAGE). APA-style documentation requires the year and page. As I am versed in MLA but not APA, I hesitate to give an APA example. Ask your professor what style he prefers. He may prefer another style besides these two. Good luck!

[@pingubitches5304]

Do footnotes replace in-text citation, or are they meant to be used in different circumstances? What i mean is, if i just footnoted the end of the sentence and then provided the details in brackets in the same format you are doing (i.e. Author, page number) or (Author, web link) is that an alternative way of doing it or is that wrong? Regardless, i would still have a more information of the sources used on the Bibliography page at the end of the essay, just wondering if you can use either method as a means of also sourcing your work as you go along...
