1. Using a quote as the first sentence of a paragraph. This can be confusing for readers, as they may not be able to tell immediately who is speaking or what the quote is about.
2. Using a quote as the only evidence to support an argument. Quotes should be used to support your arguments and ideas, but they should not be the only evidence you use.
3. Using a quote that is too long or irrelevant. Quotes should be short and relevant to the point you are trying to make.
4. Using a quote without citing the source. Always be sure to cite the source of your quotes so that readers can find the original source if they want to learn more.
5. Using a quote out of context. Be sure to use quotes in their proper context so that readers understand the meaning and intent of the quote.
