Which type of punctuation signals the reader that words have been omitted from a direct quotation?

1 answer:

4 0

Quotations are used to cite other sources and other words that are not the writers words but someone else's words.
For example, if I quoted Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address it would look like this, "Four Scores and seven years ago".
" this punctuation is a quotation

babunello [35]

Answer:

1. The little girl wished that she would get a pony for Christmas - Subjunctive

2. If I were one of the boys, I would have looked both ways before crossing the road - Conditional

3. If you take your coat with you, you might not get cold - Conditional

4. If I had a car, I would drive across the country to the ocean - Conditional

5. If you add the yeast, your bread should rise in a few hours - Conditional

6. If the alarm sounds, the fire fighters put on their gear and jump on the fire truck - Conditional

Explanation:

The subjunctive mood expresses a wish, a suggestion, even a command. It is used with verbs such as wish, demand, suggest, recommend, insist, and order. Among the sentences provided in the question, only the first one is in the subjunctive mood: 1. The little girl wished that she would get a pony for Christmas.

The other sentences are all in the conditional mood. This mood expresses a fact - real or hypothetical - that depends on a certain condition to happen. The clause in which the condition is stated often begins with the conjunction "if". Let's choose one of the sentence above to take a look:

If I had a car, I would drive across the country to the ocean --> For me to be able to drive across the country, a car would be needed. Only if I met that condition would I get that result.
