  2. Dialogue Rules • Every time a NEW person speaks, they get to be indented as if it is a new paragraph. “How was your day,” asked Mom as I walked in the door after school. “We had Italian dunkers for lunch, so it was awesome,” I answered. Then I went to my room to get started on my homework for English class.

  3. Punctuating Dialogue • Put quotation marks at the beginning and the end of what is being said. My mom asked, “How was your day?” “We had Italian dunkers, so it was awesome,” I replied.

  4. Punctuating Dialogue • When someone speaks, you need to put a comma between says (or any synonym of that) and what the person is saying. My mom asked, “How was your day?” “We had Italian dunkers, so it was awesome,” I replied.

  5. Punctuating Dialogue • End punctuation for what a person says stays inside the quotation marks My mom asked, “How was your day?” “I love Italian dunker day!” I exclaimed.

  6. To Practice: • Take the passage from Much Ado About Nothing and convert it from play format into prose by adding correct indents and quotation marks. Dogberry: Bring the watchmen forward. Masters, I charge you in the name of the Prince, accuse these men. First watchman: Sir, this man said that Don John, the Prince’s brother, is a villain. Indent  Dogberry said, “Bring the watchmen forward. Masters, I charge you in the name of the Prince, accuse these men.” The First watchman said, “Sir, this man said that Don John, the Prince’s brother, is a villain.” Indent 

  7. Looking confused, Benedick asked, “What a moment, friar. Which one is Beatrice? “I answer to that name,” Beatrice said as she took off her mask, “What would you like?” “Do you love me?” Benedick asked. With a smug look on her face, Beatrice answered, “Why, no: no more than reasonable.” Shocked, Benedick replied, “Well, then your uncle and the Prince and Claudio have been decieved; they swore that you loved me.” “Do you love me?” Beatrice asked. “Honestly, no,” Benedick mocked her, “no more than reasonable.” Beatrice spurted, “Well, then my cousin, Margaret, and Ursula were greatly decieved because they swore that you did.” Incredulously, Benedick exclaimed, “They swore that you were almost lovesick for me!” “They swore that you were nearly dead in love for me,” added Beatrice while turning to give her companions the evil eye. “Then it isn’t true, you don’t love me?” Benedick asked quizzically. “Truly, no, only in the friendly manner,” said Beatrice. Leonato interrupted the exchange by saying, “Come on, cousin, I am sure that you love the gentleman.” Pushing his way through the crowd waving a piece of paper, Claudio added, “And I’ll swear that he loves her because here is a paper in his handwriting. It is an awkward sonnet produced entirely of his own hand…”
