How to Cite Half a Sentence Without Losing Your Mind

Have you ever stared at a sentence, wondering how on earth to cite just half of it? Trust me, you’re not alone—I’ve been there, wrestling with MLA, APA, and Chicago styles like they’re ancient riddles. Here’s the secret: if you’re using MLA, just toss all your sources at the end, separated by semicolons, even if only part of the sentence is supported by each. APA? Slide that citation right after the bit it supports—yes, mid-sentence! Chicago? Sprinkle those footnotes like confetti wherever they fit. But here’s the twist: too many citations in one sentence can make your writing look like a tangled mess. Sometimes, splitting the sentence is the real power move. Still confused? Or maybe you think there’s a better way? Drop your wisdom (or corrections!) in the comments—let’s untangle this together! 😅📚 #AcademicWriting #CitationTips #Education
