Indirect and direct quotations do NOT require the same punctuation

Explanation:

An indirect quotation is when you're reporting what someone said, but not exactly. You're paraphrasing, and you don't need to put indirect quotations in quotation marks.

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.

every four years the american people choose a new president, and 1988 is one of those years."
