1. Indent for a new speaker
• (new speaker)= (indent) • Example:
Sally said, “I wish I knew you,” when she saw Tomfor the first time.
“I agree,” Tom replied.

2. Only the exact words go inside the quotation marks.

3. The words used to identify the speaker are called a “tag line”
• Example: Mary said, Jane replied• Note: said, replied, screamed, etc. are never
capitalized in a tag line.

4. There are 3 types of Tag lines:
• A) Before the quote:– the comma always follows the tag line and the
beginning letter of the quote is always capitalized • Example: Jon asked, “Where did everyone go?”

• B) After the quote: – the ending punctuation after the actual quote
(before the tag line) can never be a period• Example: “Every one decided to go,” said Jon.
– If the sentence would normally end with a period, substitute a comma. An exception to this rule is end marks for questions or exclamations • “Where did everyone go?” asked Jon

• C) In the middle of the quote: – 1. In between two separate sentences (quotes): a
period follows the tag line and the beginning of the second sentence (quote) is capitalized • Example: “I have a dog,” said Jane. “Do you have any
pets?”

– 2. When the tag line splits one sentence (quote) into two parts: a comma follows the first part of the quote and the tag line • Example: “I have two dogs,” said Jane, “that fight all
the time.”

Dialogue Exercise: • Work with a partner. Write your own
dialogue between two different people. • It must be at least 6 sentences long and use
the tag line at the beginning, middle, and end at least once. This activity will be worth 10 grammar convention points.
• When you come to class tomorrow, be ready to perform your dialogue using the speaking techniques we practiced last quarter: Clear speaking voice and diction. This will be worth 10 speaking points.
