Dialogue Rules

Definition conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie

Rule #1 A direct quotation begins with a capital letter EX: Jimmy shouted, “See you at the game!” “Is it true?" asked Cindy.

RULE #2 When a quotation is interrupted into two parts with words like “he asked” or “the teacher demanded,” the second part begins with a lower case letter.

Rule # 2 Example “What are some of the things,” Mrs. Baskin inquired, “that make school so much fun?” “One thing I like,” replied Sarah, “is recess!”

Rule # 3 When writing dialogue, all punctuation marks at the end of the quotation go inside the quotation marks

Rule # 3 Example “Let's visit the museum,” suggested Samantha. Jon replied, “Didn't we go there last weekend?” “But when we did,” Beth added, “we didn't see the Ancient Egyptian exhibit.”

RULE #4: Make a new paragraph (indent) when a different person begins to speak. "Last night, I dreamt that I ate a giant marshmallow," Kevin said. "Was that anything like the dream you had about eating your way through a mountain of fruit cocktail?" asked Suzy. "Scarier," Kevin explained. "This time I woke up and my pillow was gone."
