Question

Read the sentence.

Answer 1

Place a comma between the Quotation mark and she. 

Answer 2

The edit which corrects the punctuation in the quotation is the following one:

Place a comma between here and the quotation mark:

“I didn’t know you were in here," she said, “otherwise I would have knocked.”

A comma must be used whenever a pause is needed. It also works as a way to separate different ideas and make a sentence more organized and clear, thus making it easier to be read and understood.

The meaning of a sentence can sometimes be changed depending on the position of the comma, as well as whether the person writing chooses to use it or not.

Eg:

"Let's eat, Grandma!" (a comma between "eat" and "Grandma": Grandma is being invited to eat)

"Let's eat Grandma!" (no comma whatsoever: Grandma will be eaten)
