  2. Example: “Kate, let’s go to the mall today,” Camilla exclaimed. #1: Quotation marks show where the exact words of a speaker begin and end. RULES

  3. Example: “Kate, let’s go to the mall today,” Camilla exclaimed. #2: A commaseparates the quotation from the words that tell who is speaking. RULES

  4. Example: “Have you fallen ill?” Camilla asked. “Get out of the way!” Shawn screamed. #3: A question mark or exclamation point takes the place of the comma. This means you put the question mark or exclamation point before the quotation, and skip the comma. RULES

  5. Example: “Katie, if we go to the mall,” Camilla said, “you can buy a gift for your mom.” #4: DIVIDED QUOTATION Some quotations are divided in two. If quotations are divided, don’t capitalize the second part of the sentence, and use commas to separate the quotations from the speaker. RULES

  6. Example: “Katie, do you want to go to the mall?” Camilla asked. “Then you can buy those pants you wanted.” #5: If the divided quotation is two sentences, use a period after the words that tell who is speaking. Capitalize the first word of the new sentence. RULES

  7. Example: “Katie, if we go to the mall,” Camilla said, “you can buy a gift for your mom.” “Yeah, that sounds great Camilla!” Katie responded. #6: NEW SPEAKER = NEW PARAGRAPH Every time a speaker changes, start a new paragraph. This means you go to a new line and indent the line with each new speaker. RULES

  8. Example: “Katie, let’s go to the mall today,” Sally said. #7: Capitalize the first word in a quotation, when it starts a sentence. RULES

  9. Example: “Katie, if go to the mall today,” Sally said, “you can buy a gift for your mom.” #8: When writing the quotation and speaker, if the words go to new line, do not indent the new lines. RULES

  10. Example: “Katie, want to go to the mall?” Sally asked. The two girls loved going to the mall together, and would go almost every weekend to meet friends. #9: After the dialogue (when the starting the story again) start a new paragrah. This means go to the new line and indent. RULES
