According to him, "that's a dog."
I know this is really trivial, but I can't find anything about it online. Sometimes the period is placed within the quote, sometimes it isn't. I'm currently writing my first term paper and really need to know this. Could someone please help me?

Loading...Hey here is a poem by Arno Holz (her roof almost reached the stars) I have to give a presentation on this and analyze the poem. I thought it was in iamb 4, but I'm not sure. It would be nice if someone could tell me which syllables are stressed in the first verse: Thanks…
Hello, we're writing a poetry analysis test in German on Monday, and I'm still unsure. So I wrote one as a practice. Maybe someone can give me some feedback? (I'm in 9th grade) We have to write this (it's always a little different) This is the poem and here is my interpretation (I wrote that…
It probably hasn’t been that long since you went to the cinema , has it?” “It probably hasn’t been that long since you went to the cinema , has it?” Hey guys, I wrote the second sentence in my German school assignment and the first sentence is my professor's correction. Why was my sentence wrong?…
Hello, can I write the sentence like this? Without the "to" in the parentheses? Or does the "to" belong there? Thanks & best regards
What can you expect if the task is to analyze an epic novel or a novel excerpt with regard to the relationships between the characters (e.g., corpus delicti)? So what is meant by the relationship between the characters?
According to him, it’s a dog.
In this example, I am absolutely sure.
If it is for university or other higher schools, there are usually citation rules where you can find out exactly what form the source directory is expected. This can actually vary from subject to subject, apply the same rules for all subjects, you will find on the hps of the disciplines meiat a link to a complete list of how to cite.
Whether schools have to do this, I do not know, but is quite possible.
In general, the following applies in German:
In literal speeches, a point (which marks the end of the said sentence) is omitted or comes after the goose feet. ABER ONLY if the sentence stops after that. If the remaining limb or even more comes after the geese feet, you simply leave the point. Call sign + question mark IMMER VOR den Gänsefüsschen.
I am about 75% sure that these rules also apply if there is no literal speech but a quote (from a source or a celebrity).
Basically, this is also a quote, “we usually don’t call that,” Anna said.
The President said, “It should be clear with this.”
A quotation could be: “Everyone is responsible for everything, and everyone knows that, we wouldn’t have a problem.”
The quote: “Luke, I am your father” doesn’t seem literally in the movie Star Wars.
Within the quotation, i.e. within your geese, the phrases must not be changed.
I hope that will help you succeed in your work! She will be super 😉
Aja, in your example, you can express with the word “sei” instead of “is” that you do not know the truth content of the statement. More neutral..
The phrases and the quotation marks come where the quotation also stood. Is that a dog is primarily a question and therefore there is no question mark.
“Is that a dog?”
If, however, it was quoted as in
Is that a dog and what breed does your dog have?
It is quoted in the following.
“Is that a dog […] what breed does your dog have?”
These […] in quotes you can see again and again with journalistic contributions in which something irrelevant is released from quotes as in this case the word and. However, one should check the missing passages at […] critical contributions, as often relevant things are omitted, just to change statements in favor of a contribution.
You can find information in this respect at any rate with the producers of our spelling, the German legislative council. Its rules are here, for quotation and point see §§ 89 f.

There is no sentence, there is no point.
In contrast, a sentence is: according to him, “is that a dog.” <- Point
But “this is a dog” is a sentence. This does not change, even if you match the word position to quote with the rest.
“This is a dog” is not a sentence. One sentence would be: “This is a dog.”
Otherwise, this sentence is nowhere. I don’t understand what you want to explain to me at all.
