How do you put quotation marks when you type an essay in a computer?

Hold down your shift key and press the key on your keyboard, ( “ )

Depends on what exactly you are asking. ^^ They gave the correct way. But if you are referring to how to quote something in your essay there are a couple ways of doing it. If the quotation is less than 3 lines you do it normal like: “blah blah blah blah blah” (quoted person page number). If it is more than three lines you do it like: normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text normal text

                 Start quotation here.................................................................................................
                 .....................................................................................................................................
                 .....................................................................................................................................
                 .....................................................................................................................................

Hopefully that helps. If not google MLA and APA formats for quotations. If you are not in a nursing program MLA is what you want. If you are in a nursing program APA is how they have to do things.

Where it says “start quotation here” that ‘quote’ should be centered under your text above it.

you have a strange keyboard layout o.O :)
