1. Do I say 'Sally asked me to complete 1 exercise of Essentials of Writing' or 'Sally asked me to complete 1 exercise in Essentials of Writing' ?

2. Should I use the word 'one' instead of the Arabic numeral?

3. Should I put inverted commas around Essentials of Writing? What about italicising the words?

Thank you

1. Of and in are both OK

2. Yes

3. Underline or italicize book titles.

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'

Thanks for your reply Mister Micawber.

Do we only use inverted commas to quote?

Thanks again

What do you mean precisely by an 'inverted comma'? If you mean the marks that I have placed around 'inverted comma', then those serve as informal quotation marks, as quotation marks within quotation marks, and as apostrophes.

Do we italicize blog names and website names?

Do blogs or websites have definitive names? How does one identify the correct name? I suppose I would use italics if I were typing.

Yes. That's exactly what I meant when I said inverted commas.

I was thinking about Britannica Blog and www.google.com.

Thanks
