Where do the quotations go in sentence Julia may I borrow your eraser?

The sentence "Julia may I borrow your eraser?" doesn't need quotations because it's a direct question, not a quotation.

Here's why:

* Direct questions are questions that are asked directly to someone. They are typically spoken aloud and don't require quotation marks.

* Quotations are used to indicate the exact words someone has spoken or written.

If you were to write the sentence as a quotation, it would look like this:

"Julia, may I borrow your eraser?"

This indicates that someone is speaking the question to Julia.
