Citing vs Quoting

Hi! I have several questions as usual 1) what is the difference between citing and quoting as both are used to express someone else’s ideas or thoughts. 2) Amy, you are a teacher and so is Marni. Why kind of teachers are you? What do you, guys, teach? |

Hi! Great questions, as usual |

Hmmm…for some reason my last post didn’t work. I’ll try again! For your first question, “citing” specifically means using another’s words or ideas to support your own ideas. “Quoting” just means using someone else’s exact words (with quotation marks.) Marni teaches younger children, and I teach writing, literature and ESL to high school and college-age students. |

Hmmmm….I would say practice, practice, practice! And watch lots of movies/TV shows in English if you can. You’ll absorb a lot that way—and it’s fun. |
