Punctuating Dialogue

Put quotation marks around the words spoken aloud. Begin spoken words with a capital letter. Place commas, full stops, question marks and exclamation marks inside the closing quotation mark. When a speaker tag comes after the spoken words, use a comma before the closing quotation mark unless the spoken sentence ends with a question mark or exclamation mark. When the tag comes first, put a comma before the quotation marks.
