IN SPEECH
Hi,
I was listening to some types of speeches and have some questions.
1.When someone says this, does he have to make it known that it is quoted? I think the written version should be in quotation marks because not being in quotation marks doesn't make sense to me.
Next time is later again.
2.Can we have a present perfect after a dependant clause like "After you heard it" in the past tense?
After you heard it, you have decided to come back again. Thank you. Nice to see you all here again.

AnonymousCan we have a present perfect ...Not usually. I can't think of a case like that. After you heard it, you have decided to come back again isn't correct.

Thank you, both of you.
If someone procrastinates constantly. I feel it is better for him to make a decision regarding this issue soon, but what I see is constant delay.
Can I say this regarding this person?
To this person, next time is later again
I think you said that the word 'later' should be in quotes or in italics. How would I
