As I been writing my papers and responses, I have noticed that I use quotation marks quite often. I figured I better learn how to correctly punctuate them. I found this information from http://www.drgrammar.org/faqs/#15.
Quotation Marks and Other PunctuationThere are three basic rules.
1. All commas and periods should be placed inside the quotation marks.
2. All colons and semicolons should be placed outside the quotation marks.
3. Question marks and exclamation marks should be placed within the quotation marks when they apply only to the quoted material; they should be placed outside when the entire sentence, including the quoted material, is a question or exclamation.
