MVB  +  953030 Mon, 26 Oct 09 01:37 AM Hi, Where does one place the period? Is it after the ending quotation marks ("Leaf".) or before the ending quotation marks ("Leaf.") The sentence would be: I read the book "Leaf". OR I read the book "Leaf." Thanks, MVB MVB Joined on Wed, Oct 8 2008 New Member 21 Punctuation, Quotation Marks, Sentences

	Grammar Geek  +  953053 Mon, 26 Oct 09 01:48 AM In the US, the period goes inside. In most other places, the period would go outside. But as I said in your other post, don't use quotes for books. You use quotes for the names of articles. Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,652 Barbara, who answers in American English.
