List the three steps to properly using quotations in your work.

1. Introduce the quotation with a complete sentence and a colon.

2. Use an introductory or explanatory phrase but not a complete sentence separated from the quotation with a comma.

3. Make the quotation a part of your own sentence without any punctuation between your own words and the words you are quoting.
