How to introduce dialogues in narratives

- Each speaker has his/her own paragraph.

- Character’s language should be in quotes.

- Attributions (she said, he asked) can be used at the start of quotes, in the middle or at the end.

- If the quote is not a question or exclamation, we use a comma and not a period before the second quotation mark.

 -The pronouns of the attributions (he hesitated/she cried) are not written with capital letters.
