Which sentence is punctuated correctly? “Yes,” the lady said, I would love to dance with you. “Yes” the lady said “I would love
to dance with you.” “Yes,” the lady said, “I would love to dance with you.” Yes, the lady said. “I would love to dance with you.” 21. Why is the word “They” capitalized in the following sent
“Yes,”
<span> the lady said, “I would love to dance with you.”</span> is the correct sentence. Quotations of any length must always be set off with a comma before the quote.
"Yes," the lady said, "I would love to dance with you."
Explanation:
What the lady says is a single sentence: "Yes, I would love to dance with you." But since it is interrupted by narration ("the lady said"), quotation marks are used to mark the boundaries of each element. Closing commas and periods go before the closing quotation marks.
