QUOTATION RULES
Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes.
 * __Rule 1.__**

She said, "He said, 'Hurry up.'"
The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks.
 * __Rule 2.__**

She asked, "Will you still be my friend?"
or when "quoting" a "quote".

Here the question is outside the quote.
NOTE: Only one ending punctuation mark is used with quotation marks. Also, the stronger punctuation mark wins. Therefore, no period after war is used.

When you have a question outside quoted material AND inside quoted material, use only one question mark and place it inside the quotation mark.
 * __Rule 3.__**

Did she say, "May I go?"
__**Rule 4.**__ Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks.

He said, "Danea said, 'Do not treat me that way.'"
__**Rule 5.**__ Use quotation marks to set off a direct quotation only.

He asked when you will be there.
__**Rule 6.**__

Do not use quotation marks with quoted material that is more than three lines in length.

Still, it has many poor people. Canada is a rich country, but still it has many poor people. Montéal has better clubs, but Toronto has better cinemas.
 * The Compound Sentence**
 * Simple**
 * Simple**
 * Compound**

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one [|__dependent clause__]. Unlike a compound sentence, however, a complex sentence contains clauses which are not equal. Consider the following examples: My friend invited me to a party. I do not want to go. My friend invited me to a party, but I do not want to go. Although my friend invited me to a party, I do not want to go.
 * Differences between SIMPLE, COMPOUND, and COMPLEX**

 * Complex**
