DIALOGUE Using Quotation Marks

QUOTATION MARKS Quotation marks are how we show readers that a character is talking. They are used around dialogue within literature. Use them around the exact words of a speaker Example: Katie said, "I saw my friend yesterday."

QUOTATION MARK RULES Use a comma before inserting explanatory details about who is talking and quotation marks around only the exact words of the speaker. Example: "Yes," said Billy, "I am going."

QUOTATION MARK RULES Create a new paragraph every time there is a change in the speaker. Indent the beginning of each paragraph.

QUOTATION MARK RULES Any ending punctuation, like question marks and exclamation marks, should be inside the quotations. Make sure you have a lower-case letter before explanatory material. Example: “How do you know that?” she asked.

PRACTICE Did you hear that? He asked. What? she whispered. That creaking noise. It’s coming from the attic! He told her with a wide-eyed look. I’m not going up there! she screamed. You go look! Noooooo way he whispered.

PRACTICE ANSWERS “Did you hear that?” he asked. “What?” she whispered. “That creaking noise. It’s coming from the attic!” he told her with a wide-eyed look. “I’m not going up there!” she screamed. “You go look!” “Noooooo way,” he whispered.

PRACTICE I dare you to go into that haunted house she said. I double dog dare you. No way! He told her. You are crazy! Fine. Then I’ll do it she shrugged. I’m not scared. Then why are your knees shaking? He asked her. They just do that sometimes! she explained.

QUOTATION MARK RULES Use no quotation marks with indirect quotations. Indirect quotations are when the speaker is not saying anything directly or specifically. The word that is often used in these examples. Example: Joey said that he wished summer lasted all year long.
