Direct Speech Punctuation | Quoted Speech | Grammar HD

NOTE: This is for AMERICAN English. This video is my first effort. If you would like to see more videos like this, please let me know in the comments or by leaving a thumbs up. Three Main Rules for Direct Speech Punctuation • Use a comma to separate the words in quotation marks from the rest of the sentence. • Use a capital letter at the beginning of the sentence and for the first word of the quotation. • Put punctuation (periods, question marks, exclamation points, commas, etc) inside the final quotation mark. (There are a few exceptions to this rule: semi-colons, colons, and a few other situations.)
