In an 5-paragraph essay, is it okay to use more than one quote in each of your body paragraphs?

e.g

introduction

1 body

topic sentence

“dasdasd”

“dasdASd”

“dasda”

explain

It depends on how long your paragraphs are, if they are only 4-5 sentences long, I would say no because you won’t have enough room to write a good paragraph with supporting information.

If you are taking big chunks of text from another source, probably not. You can have more than one quote, but you need to be writing more of the paper. Can’t you paraphrase some of the information? Quotes are great for support, but your teacher probably wants to see your writing.

Well you only want to use quotes when they are absolutely necessary for your topic at that point. If you use to many quotes its sorda borderline plagerism. Its like just using a bunch of key phrases to over win the crowd for your votes.. but never really saying anything of your own.

quote???? you mean a quote from someone which you will use as a source of the exploratory content of your essay??? if this is it… then you may not use so many quotes coz the coherency of the ideas of your essay may be in limbo.. but you can use more than one if you wish to for as long as those quotes are relevant to the main subject of the essay you are writing.

yes its ok it jus depends on the lengths of each paragraph. the trick is not to let your quote take up most of your paragraph add your pwn opinion

to me it would be ok. if you want to put alot more than one in each sentence than why not? but you probably should only do two so that you will not bore the teacher who is reading it. but you might want to ask a teacher or professor who would not salot more about this than me. since i am only 16.

continuously communicate approximately basically one ingredient on your paragraph e.g. you’re talking approximately gentle imagery. then in next one approximately hues, in next one approximately sounds etc… doesnt count number if the examples are from all over the region… merely shop the paragraph basically approximately one ingredient
