What is a footnote and when should one be used. Please be specific. Thanks so much!!?

I'm having difficulty writing a paper and I am confused over footnotes. I think I pretty much understand them, but would like to get another opinion and more information on them.





Thank you so much for helping!! I really appreciate it!What is a footnote and when should one be used. Please be specific. Thanks so much!!?
a footnote is like when you are writing something and you decide you want to talk more about a specific subject in your writing, but you dont want to go off topic.


i.e. ';The teenager was ambitious* about getting a new car.';


*Ambitious comes from the the prefix ambi- comes from latin meaning both.





hope i helped =/
