Dialogue Rules
Use quotation marks pointing inward to show who is talking
If you change the speaker you MUST change the paragraph and indent
Always use punctuation before quotation
Capitalize the start of the quotation, but use a lower case if the sentence is broken up (For example: “I really don’t know,” he said, “whether she loves me or not.”)
Use speaker or dialogue tags to show who is speaking
SAID is DEAD! (Use better word choice!)
