No one was born knowing how to cite multiple pages in MLA. Not your professor, not the guy who wrote the style guide, not even the ghost of the librarian who invented it. You learn by doing, and sometimes by messing up. (I once submitted a paper with “pp. 42-42” for a single page. My roommate still teases me.)
So next time you’re staring at that blinking cursor, remember: hyphen for consecutive, comma for scattered, and plus for mystery. You’ve got this. Now go crush that bibliography—and maybe treat yourself to a coffee afterward. You earned it.
