How do I give credit to others when utilizing or referencing their written or spoken words and ideas?

by putting the sentence in your own words but the same subject

also if its a website then you can copy the link from the cite and paste it in your response

You would use "quote symbols" to show you are using someone else's words or ideas. Then you would put their name before or after. For example: "Whatever you are, be a good one" Abraham Lincoln. Or: Abraham Lincoln once said, "Whatever you are, be a good one"
