Rules of Punctuation (Square Brackets)

 Square Brackets


(a) You can use them to include explanatory words or phrases within quoted language:

e.g. Lew Perkins, the Director of Athletic Programs, said that Pumita Espinoza, the new soccer coach [at Notre Dame Academy] is going to be a real winner.

(b) If you are quoting material nd you've had to change the capitalization of a word or change a pronoun to make the material fit into your sentence, enclose that changed letter or word (s) within brackets:

e.g. Espinoza charged her former employer with "falsification of [her] coaching record."
