Answer
Brief Explanations:
- When a person is speaking, the words they say should be enclosed in quotation marks. Also, a comma is used to separate the speaker's name from the quote.
- For questions within a quote, a question mark is used inside the quotation marks. And when a quote is followed by the speaker's name, a comma is needed.
- Similar to the first rule, the quote should be in quotation marks with a comma separating the speaker.
- The quote goes in quotation marks, and a comma is used before the speaker's name.
- The part after "say" is a quote, so it should be in quotation marks. Also, an exclamation mark is used as per the tone.
Answer:
- Mindy said, "I'd like to go visit a friend who is in the hospital because of scarlet fever."
- "What is strep throat?" asked Caitlin. "And how will Sasha get rid of it?"
- "Lisa will most likely have a slow recovery, or so her doctor says," explained Aida.
- "You have to get better soon, so we can go play basketball again," stated Malcolm.
- Did you hear the doctor say, "Nicholas has the most unusual case of poison ivy I have ever seen!"
