just a quickie...

Hi, just wondering if someone could remind me of something...When quoting something and you need to change the context and tense slighlty what do you do? The original quote is: “slapped my face to silence me"
Is it:

"Slapped [her] face to silence [her]?"

or

"slapped [my] face to silence [me]?"

Thanks

Definitely the first one. The other option is to use an ellipsis (...) if that would fit in the context of your writing.
