QUOTATIONS aka DIALOGUE
5.8e
Quotation marks are used to show when someone is speaking. They show the exact words someone says. The TAG tells us WHO spoke and HOW they spoke. Examples of tags are: She whispered. He roared. They repeated. Bill sang. Allison snorted. The tags tells us how to read the words in our heads. This helps with fluency. Every character should have their own "voice" in your head. Don't read monotonously (the same voice for each character). Tags can be found at the beginning of the sentence, the middle, or the end. COMMAS SEPARATES TAGS FROM WHAT IS BEING SAID. |

ADJECTIVES
Interjections
An interjection is a word or group of words used to express strong feelings or surprise. An exclamation point (!) or comma (,) is used to separate the interjection from the rest of the sentence.
