Dialogue practice

Today we did this review:




Add punctuation (and  pilcrows) to make this dialogue correct:

 

         Hello said the scary little gnome.

         Who said that asked the little girl.

         I did answered the gnome.

         Who are you? asked the girl. I am Beltazar answered the gnome.

         You are so small! exclaimed the girl as she squinted her eyes to bring the gnome into focus. I can barely see you she added.

 

 




-----------------------------------Recipe for some Perfect Dialogue----------------------------------------------------

In the writing below, add 2 pilcrows, 4 quotation marks, two commas, and one question mark for a fabulous result!

      “Is anyone there  asked Cindy. “I am,” answered Henry.

     “It is really dark in there” Cindy said as she directed her flashlight into the opening of the cave.  The two children had been hiking in the mountains for a couple of hours.  Come and take a look,” Henry called.

    No, you come out! Cindy said.

    “But it is too cool in here” Henry protested with a loud voice.
