How do you quote, when there is already a quote?

doing an english paper and I have to use examples from the text, I know I have to cite it, but my question is how do I use the quotes if there already have them for ex, “The ring!” so how would I cite it is it like this “”The ring!”

You use double quotes like this ” ‘The ring!’ ” It’s a reg quotation mark and then a single on the left, and single followed by a regular on the right.

If you want paraphrasing, just say it; however, it won’t change the context of the answer. If you ask where in the Bible does it say…? Your best and logical answer will be the location. The quotes are normally written or copied and pasted for the convenience of the asker. (Answerers don’t generally know if one is familiar or not with the Bible unless that is stated somewhere in the question.) Not evidence? Possibly not what you accept but it IS what believing Christians accept as the truth–God’s word. ___ Add-on for clarity: Many-to-most Christians who have studied the Bible “could” answer from the tops of our heads/our own thoughts on a topic; however, that would not necessarily render a “Biblical answer” as requested. I believe the question is regarding “where in the Bible” not “What do YOU think…” Scientific evidence? You really don’t understand believing Christians. We KNOW that God is the Creator of all things. He made time, space, the elements, everything… science. God’s evidence is all around and He tells mankind about His evidence in Romans 1:20 (which is inspired by God and is the same as God speaking directly to mankind). However, some do not accept that so we give you what we’ve got which IS hard evidence and you argue it with theory. x

One of the messiest types of quotes to punctuate is a quote within a quote. Sometimes we want to use quoted dialog or a quote that includes a word set off by quotation marks. To mark a quotation within the text we want to quote in our own paper, we need to enclose them in single quotation marks (‘. . .’). However that might not be your case, everything depends on what you are quoting. Here’s a website that might be of assistance in regard to your particular paper:

Good luck to you.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, but a quotation within another quotation, I believe, is like this:

Billy said, “I was going to call Mom, but my brother told me, ‘Don’t call Mom unless it’s an emergency.'”

let me use this an example. lets say i’m talking to someone about what another person said…. “My little Sammy said her first word today! She said, ‘Dada’. It was the cutest thing ever!” So all you do is put these (‘….’) in side these (“….”)

I hope this is helpful! 🙂
