Dialogue Rules and Practice

Dialogue Rules Rule #1: Dialogue is always in quotes. Rule #2: When there is a mew speaker, you start a new paragraph. Rule #3: Speaker tags can come before, after, or in the middle of dialogue. Before- Will asked, “What time will dinner be ready?” After- “Take out the trash before you go to school,” his mother yelled. Middle- “I wonder if the test will be hard,” Kylie commented, “I should probably study anyway.”

Dialogue Rules Rule #4: Capitalize the first letter of the sentence in quotes. Rule #5: The comma, question mark, period, exclamation point go inside the quotation marks. -Comma: “Today, I walked home, ” Tom said. -Question Mark: Betty asked, “Tom walked home today ? ” -Exclamation Point: “Tom fell on his way home today ! ” exclaimed Sarah. -Period: Tom said, “Today, I walked home. ”

Dialogue Rules Rule #6: When dialogue is first, and the speaker tag is last, the dialogue is followed by a comma, question mark or exclamation point- not a period. The period follows the speaker tag. -Comma: “Today, I walked home, ” Tom said. -Question Mark: Betty asked, “Tom walked home today ? ” -Exclamation Point: “Tom fell on his way home today ! ” exclaimed Sarah.
