Dialogue Tags Other options are: asked explained shouted whispered cried admitted agreed mumbled shouted demanded warned pleaded answered snarled sobbed hissed

Punctuating Dialogue 1. Use a comma between the dialogue and the tag line (the word used to identify the speaker: “he said/she said”): “I would like to go to the beach this weekend,” she said. 2. Periods and commas go inside the quotation marks, as do question marks, exclamation marks or semicolons if they are directly related to the material within the quotes “Where did all the magazines go?” asked Sarah.

Punctuating Dialogue 3. When a dialogue tag interrupts a sentence, it should be set off by commas. “That is,” Adam said, “the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted.” 4. To use a quote inside a quotation, use single quotes. 5. When you are writing in paragraphs, using a quote requires starting a new paragraph.

Example: I was walking to school today when I saw my friend Kate Example: I was walking to school today when I saw my friend Kate. She was carrying a large cardboard box and was dragging her book bag. I decided to ask her if she needed help. “Kate, want some help with your bag?” I asked. “That would be such a big help,” she responded.
