"I say a comma is NOT needed after the parentheses (nor later after the word 'adding')" he said, adding "because the quotation marks already indicate the dialog is separate from the dialog tag."

You managed to clarify all the basic information in one short video; thank you so much! I highly appreciate this marvelous video. I wish I had watched it before trying to write incorrectly-punctuated dialogues! Best regards from Ukraine!

Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever actually been taught all the rules of punctuation with dialogue. I’m writing a narrative essay rn, this was super helpful. Thanks!

It's so frustrating because the dialogue is so easy to hear in my mind, but when I put it in written form I have trouble keeping the format. This is especially when I have long stretches of dialogue between characters. All the "he said", "she said", "he replied", and "she muttered" starts to feel laborsome.
@robertanderson6929 Жыл бұрын
You don't need all of the "she said", "he replied." Your goal is to convey the conversation clearly. If you can do so with out the "she said", "he replied" then do so. Also, use the speaker's identity to expand the action and to paint a better picture for your audience. Example: Walking into the room with the bell still ringing down the hall, Janey's teacher said, "Attention class! Please settle down and open your books to chapter 4." Janey did as instructed as the teacher continued, "Four-score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought fourth on this continent a new nation. Can anyone tell me, what is meant by _four-score?"_ Janey's hand went up before she remembered that she was supposed to be keeping a low profile this semester. "Yes, Janey?" "Ummm, a 'score' is twenty years. So, 'four-score' would be 80 years." "That's correct." The teacher was looking directly at Janey now. "And can you tell us to what Lincoln was referring as happening eighty-seven years prior to his speech?" Janey's face began to flush as the scrutiny of her entire class began to turn slowly upon her, "Ahh, that would be the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776?" "Are you sure?" "Yes. Eighty-seven years prior to 1863 would be 1776." "Very good," the teacher replied while writing the word _score_ and the number _20_ on the board, "Now does anyone know where we get the term 'score' to represent 20 years?" Note: As long as when you read the dialogue back it is clear who is speaking the you don't necessarily need the identifier. And often you can use the identifier to express action like "walking into the room" and "writing the word ... on the board." So, think about your characters and what they are doing while speaking. It is almost NEVER the case that a character sits without motion speaking for long periods of time. They move, they figgit, they take a deep breath before replying. Here is another example just because I'm feeling particularly loquacious. Alice asked, "What time is it?" Steve replied, "Four o'clock. Why?" "I'm late for my meeting," Alice answered. "Well you better get a move on," Steve smirked. Now try this instead: Alice glanced at her watch which gave no sign of movement and then at Steve before asking, "What time is it?" Lifting his head from the spreadsheets he was examining, Steve replied, "Four o'clock. Why?" Already moving toward the door, she said over her shoulder, "I'm late for my meeting." "Well you better get a move on then." The smirk on Steve's face went unnoticed by Alice as she was already heading out the door in a rush.
@robertanderson6929 Жыл бұрын
BTW, writing is not easy but like many things it will improve with practice. And that practice often means rewriting a paragraph or a scene many, many times. For example, I have a terrible habit of using a passive-voice. I did so in my last example. Were I to rewrite that last line I would change it to be, "Alice failed to notice the smirk on Steve's face as she was already heading out the door in a rush." I don't know why I adopted the bad habit of writing in a passive-voice but I still do it all the time and it is one of the things I have to look for as I review and edit my writing.
