IF you use quotation marks, where will you put a comma?
In this case, the sentence does not require any additional punctuation besides the period at the end. The sentence is a simple statement where Fred is quoted as saying that the distributor cap on the car is cracked. There is no need for any other punctuation marks such as commas, colons, exclamation marks, or question marks since the sentence does not involve any additional clauses, quotations, or a question.
