MLA essay format also known as the Modern Language Association of America is used mainly for writing papers on arts and humanities. This style of writing is followed mainly in the United States and Canada. There are certain basic formatting patterns that is followed for any essay writing. The necessary norms are that the essay must be computer generated on a standard white 8.5 by 11 inch paper. The written text will have a margin of 1 inch on all sides. There will be a header which will generally carry the last name of the writer or the title of the essay along with page numbers at the upper right hand corner of the page. The text has to be double spaced with the font being Times New Roman and the font size 12 points. The first line of a paragraph will be indented one half inch ( five spaces or press the tab button once) from the left margin. Space to be pressed only once after each punctuation mark. If indeed, a teacher asks for end notes it would be on a separate page, after the essay and before the ‘works cited’ page.
