OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?I'm doing my coursework and I'm trying to count my quotes for word count. However if you use a quote and reuse a specific word again from that quote, does that count as another word for quote count?
E.g. "English confuses me" and I explained or reused the word "confuses" either as a reoccuring theme or connotations etc. Would I recount "confuses" again as I re used it?
Thank you -

Re: OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?On the OCR specification, it clearly states that quotes are not included in the word count.

Look at page 23, sub-heading Quotations.
Hope this helps! -

Re: OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?Presumably why the question is being asked? As whether or not they're included is a separate question to what a quote is.(Original post by Pindaaa)

I've no experience of OCR exams but it would seem very strange if reuse of the word was counted as a quote. -

Re: OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?Basically, anything that is taken directly from the novel/play/text/poem should be quoted. So if the OP did reuse confuses, he/she would have to show that it has been quoted.(Original post by Norton1)

But the OP was asking whether they would have to recount the word, and that is why I mentioned that quotes are not included into the word count as quotes are not counted anyway. -

Re: OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?Thanks, I will count it as a quote. Since I frequently use this particular word from the quote to answer the coursework question.(Original post by Pindaaa)

Re: OCR English AS F662: What counts as a quote?I haven't as names aren't specific quote from the text. However you could ask your teacher just to make sure.(Original post by JEFFERSON)
Can I count characters' names and the author's name as quotes?
