Slide7Punctuation with quotations
When you are introducing a quote that a character said, you need to place a comma to introduce the quote.
Ex: Romeo mourned his fate and shouted
,
“I defy you stars!”
Ex: Do you know who said
,
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”?
When a quote is in the beginning or middle of a sentence, set it off with commas.
Ex: “Jesus Christ!” George yelled at his friend
,
“Don’t drink so much water, Lenny!”
Slide8Punctuation with quotations
When a quote ends with a question or exclamation mark, include that punctuation inside the quotation marks. If the sentence is not done, put a period at the end of the sentence.
Ex: No one really knows the answer to the old question
,
“What came first, the chicken or the egg?”
Ex: “What came first the chicken or the egg?” is an unanswerable riddle
.
When there is a quote within a quote, use ONE apostrophe to indicate the inner quote.
