When quoting words or phrases or sentences
Hi,
When you are quoting a word or a phrase or a sentence or using the word/phrase/sentence quoted , is your only option is to put it in quotation (in quotation marks)? Can I slant it when will it be OK?
e.g.

Normally, "free trade" os written without a hypen (He favors a policay of free trade), but once you attach "trade" to "minded" I think it becomes necessary to attach "free" to "trade".
My Q: Should the sentence in parenthesis have a period in the end after the word "free trade"?

- If you are writing a formal paper, stick to the quotation marks (" ").
- If it is a word or short phrase, you can use single quotation marks (' ')-- but also check with the person to whom it will be submitted; some have their druthers.
