Punctuating Dialogue

*Use quotation marks at the beginning and end of a direct quotation. A direct quotation is the exact words of a writer or a speaker. The guide said, “ The giant squid is one of the largest creatures in the sea.” Don’t use quotation marks to set of an indirect quotation. The guide said that the giant squid is one of the largest creatures in the sea.

In dialogue punctuate a speakers words with a comma, a question mark, or an exclamation mark. “ Early sailors believed giant squid were sea monsters,” our guide explained. “ Just how big is a giant squid ?” asked Tyrell. “ Believe it or not, some may be 75 feet long !” said the guide.

Place a comma after explanatory words, such as she said and he asked, that appear at the beginning of a sentence. Tyrell asked, “ Just how big is a giant squid ?”

Enclose both parts of a divided quotation in quotation marks. Do not capitalize the first word of the second part unless it begins a new sentence. “ Wonder,” said Rebecca, “ whether the giant squid is dangerous to humans.” “ You wonder ?” asked Tyrell. “ Look at the size of those tentacles !”

Start a new paragraph and begin the paragraph with a set of quotation marks to show a change in speakers. “ Don’t be afraid,” said Rebecca. “ Although the giant squid is large, it doesn’t usually come into contact with humans.” “ I’m glad to hear that,” Tyrell replied, “ because that toothed tongue looks nasty.”

You Try It! Correct the punctuation errors. 1. Are you surprised to learn that, “ a great majority of deep-sea fishes have light- generating capabilities?” asked the guide. 2. Richard Ellis explains in his book Deep Atlantic that “there are three ways whereby sea animals create living light:” by releasing energy to special organs, by ejecting glowing chemicals, and by hosting bacteria that glow.

What do we need to do here? That’s pretty cool, Tim stated. Yes, it really is agreed the guide. Ms. Rubinetti stated I love ELA Ms. Sandy exclaimed Science is even better But isn’t Social Studies cool too Mrs. Hreha exclaimed Don’t forget about Math Mrs. Downey proclaimed
