Hi,

 

Which sentence is correct?

 

1-I read the book "Leaf".      OR    I read the book "Leaf."     OR   I read the book Leaf .    OR   I read the book Leaf.

 

 

Do we underline the book in a sentence or can we put quotation marks instead?

Do we place the period  after the line or marks, or before it/them?

 

 

Thanks,

MVB

In the old days, you underlined books. Today, use italics if you can.


I can't tell the difference between your last two. What should I see that I do not see?

Hi,

Where does one place the period?  Is it after the ending quotation marks ("Leaf".) or before the ending quotation marks ("Leaf.")

 

Thanks,

MVB
