Preview the types of problems and questions covered in this worksheet

Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 3.82 Punctuate Dialogue skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision correctly punctuates the question after the speaker tag?

ANoah asked "Why is the turtle hiding?"

BNoah asked, "Why is the turtle hiding."

CNoah asked, Why is the turtle hiding?

DNoah asked, "Why is the turtle hiding?"

Solution & Explanation:Choice D is correct because Noah asked is the speaker tag, so a comma introduces the quote and the question mark in "Why is the turtle hiding?" belongs inside the quotation marks.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision correctly separates an action from the spoken words?

AMaya tapped the box, "The markers are inside."

BMaya tapped the box. The markers are inside.

CMaya tapped the box. "The markers are inside."

DMaya tapped the box. "The markers are inside".

Solution & Explanation:Choice C is correct because Maya tapped the box is an action, not a speaker tag, so it ends as its own sentence before the quoted words with the period inside the quotation marks.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which revision correctly punctuates the dialogue between two speakers?

A"Please bring the cards to the table", Elena said. "What time does the play start?" Eli asked.

B"Please bring the cards to the table," Elena said. "What time does the play start?" Eli asked.

C"Please bring the cards to the table," Elena said. What time does the play start? Eli asked.

D"Please bring the cards to the table," Elena said, "What time does the play start?" Eli asked.

Solution & Explanation:Choice B is correct because Elena and Eli are different speakers, so each person's exact words need their own quotation marks and the second line begins a new sentence.
