Description
Use this editable grammar activity to help middle and high school students reinforce the rules for punctuating dialogue with quotation marks; commas; and end marks including periods, questions marks, and exclamation points. To facilitate the process, the worksheet includes examples of correctly formatted sentences with detailed explanations as to why each is punctuated adequately. An answer key is provided. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. (Alternatively, a self-grading Google Drive option is available.)
By engaging with this grammar exercise, students will demonstrate awareness of:
- The general need to separate dialogue tags from quotations with commas
- When the need for a comma to separate dialogue tags from quotations is negated by the need to incorporate an end mark into the quotation
- When end marks should be placed within a quotation or outside a quotation
- How to punctuate dialogue that is interrupted with a dialogue tag
- The rules of capitalization as they relate to formatting dialogue
