Is a full stop before or after quotation mark?

It depends on whether the quotation mark is closing a sentence or not. Here's the breakdown:

1. Full stop inside the quotation marks:

* If the quotation marks are closing a sentence, the full stop goes inside the quotation marks.

Example:

* "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog," said the teacher.

2. Full stop outside the quotation marks:

* If the quotation marks are not closing a sentence, the full stop goes outside the quotation marks.

Example:

* The teacher said, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Important Note:

* This rule applies to both single and double quotation marks.
