The difference between an indirect and direct quote?

Answer:
A direct quote is a quote that you take from another source. You must put this in quotation marks and give a reference in parenthesis after the quote.


An indirect quote is when somebody else's idea or data is taken and paraphrased. For this, quotation marks are not needed, but it still needs to be cited.
