And do not begin or end a sentence with a conjunction. Never use an ellipsis mark at the beginning of a quotation to indicate omission. If you interpolate any words of your own in a quotation, indicate them in square brackets. In verse quotations, indicate the divisions between lines with slashes. The first time you mention a person in your paper, identify the person by full name.
Exceptions are very famous personages such as kings and presidents.
Try to work the ideas into sentences so the flow of your narrative will not be interrupted. Indicate italics by underlining, unless your printer can produce them. Avoid one-sentence paragraphs at all times. A paragraph should contain an introductory transition sentence, sentences developing your thought and a concluding sentence that will permit transition to the next paragraph. Although passive voice is appropriate in certain places, until you can identify passive voice, write in the active voice.
