Commas in dialogue
So I've got these two sentences here that I have removed all the punctuation from because I recognize that figuring out where to put commas when you are reporting someone else's speech, you know, for a newspaper article or a piece of fiction or whatever it is, can be quite confusing.발음듣기
And so here's basically what you need to know is that commas in dialogue essentially function as runways.발음듣기
[Voiceover] So, we're starting into this sentence, and we're gonna use this comma as a ramp to divide between the utterance and what's called the dialogue tag.발음듣기
[Voiceover] So here, since we're putting the dialogue tag after the reported speech, this were otherwise going to be a period.발음듣기
It's because we're trying to separate between the reported speech and the dialogue tag itself.발음듣기
So, in the event that this were a question, however, you would use a question mark or if it were an exclamation, you would use an exclamation point, but if it were going to just be a period, you wouldn't do this.발음듣기
[Voiceover] Right, you're getting like, ramped up into the dialogue, and then with the second one, it's like the plane is landing, and, "They're probably pirates," and then the dialogue ends.발음듣기
[Voiceover] So if the statement were going to end with a period, we'd use a comma in reported dialogue when the tag follows the reported speech.발음듣기
