MLA Style

Alright, so this year in my new highschool we have to write our papers in MLA style and for one I need to do in-text citations but different friends are telling me different ways on how to do it.

So I'm not sure exactly how to do a MLA in-text citation; anyone know exactly how to do it?

re: MLA Style

Check out EasyBib.

For in-text MLA uses (author's last name page#) after the block of text. Example - (Smith 55)

Are you taking a direct quote/figure, or paraphrasing?

re: MLA Style

It is paraphrasing. Now how would I do that for a website? Just (Author 1) ?

re: MLA Style

For just a website I believe it is just (Website Name)

If you are paraphrasing, I believe it is the same format, but I am not 100% certain on that.

Also make sure you cite everything properly in your bibliography/work cited. (EasyBib can take care of that for you)


Perdue has a great MLA style guide available on their website, try checking that out.
