How to Cite a Work with Two Authors Mla

How to Cite a Work with Two Authors Mlaに取り組みたい方へ、迷わずに進められる ヒントをご紹介します。

You might have seen the mysterious “et al.” floating around citations. That’s for three or more authors. Not two.

For two, you always name both. No shortcuts. Think of it as giving each author their own spotlight in a two-person play.

Use “et al.” for two authors, and you’d be making a grammar faux pas. It’s like ordering a double espresso and getting a tea—technically a drink, but not what you asked for.

Quick Real-Life Example

Let’s say you’re citing a book called “Climate and Culture” by Emma Frost and Leo Winter. In-text, you write: (Frost and Winter 88). Boom.

On your Works Cited page, it looks like: Frost, Emma, and Leo Winter. Climate and Culture. Penguin, 2026. See the pattern? Last name first, then first name, then “and,” then the second author’s normal name.

It’s like a dance: lead, then follow, then together. You got this.
