Hello, Hamlin. Thanks for the video! You said in the video "a block quote is any quote that is four lines long or longer." I have read from trusted sources that a block quote is a quote longer than four lines, not four lines. I am working on my research paper and I am confused. I hope you see this message and make sure if what you have said was correct. Waiting for your response!

[@reneehamlin7023]

Let me check--yes, you're right. MLA 8 Handbook says more than 4 lines. Thanks for catching that!

[@anammir496]

Hi Halim and Marouane, I was wondering if either of you could help me. Is it longer than 4 lines typed when we type it (we’re told to use size 12 Font times new Roman), or does it depend on if it’s longer than 4 lines in the novel?

[@marouanezarzar789]

@@anammir496, sorry, I have just seen your message. It is longer than 4 lines when we type it in a Word doc. I am sorry again for replying late. Good luck!

[@marouanezarzar789]

@Amina Hossain Bristy, hello! I think you will follow the handwritten lines! I am not sure to be honest. But, when we type, we follow the Word doc, not the book. I think that applies to handwriting as well. Break a leg!

Thank you, this video really helped with my essay!!

[@Dan-ky5es]

When creating a block quote, do you need to adjust the measurement on the right side also?

[@bishwajitmishra21]

Thank you Renée..

[@namirperez7294]

thanks!

[@kaitlin7787]

great video!

[@wajidaziz8918]

Is that one tab or two?? I am confused. Saw video the other day where this guy instructed about two tabs at the beginning of quote

[@jacobtafolla489]

everytime i press tab it deletes lmao. plzzzz help

[@kuriamu]

i know this was a year ago but for me it did the same thing, what i found out was u press tab at the beginning of the first line then press tab at the beginning of the second line and it should make everything go to how it’s supposed to.

[@Nopenonameok]

@@kuriamuthank you!!!

[@verena5555]

Does anyone know how to proceed correctly if the block quote is followed directly by a new section? Do I still indent the first line, even if it is then on the same level as the block quote and it is not really recognisable where the block quote ends?
