You can add words and phrases enclosed by brackets [ ] to make a quotation clearer or fit grammatically into your sentence.

For example:

* Original: "I love chocolate," she said.

* With brackets: She said, "I love [dark] chocolate."

This makes it clear that she specifically loves dark chocolate, not all chocolate.

You can also use brackets to add clarifying words or phrases:

* Original: "I'm going to the store," he said.

* With brackets: "I'm going to the store [to buy milk]," he said.

This adds context and clarifies what he's going to the store for.
