English Comma Rule

When you’re writing and want to include a direct quotation, you need to add a comma.

Here’s how to do that:

  • He said, “let’s go.”
  • “Let’s go,” he said.

In short: don’t forget to tuck the comma inside the quotation mark 🙂

Practice

Add commas and quotation marks to the following sentences:

  • At this point she said please eat the salad.
  • Please don't take too long he said.
  • They said the book is amazing.
