Question

Which sentences demonstrate correct use of commas with quotation marks?

Answer 1

Answer:

"Don't make me angry," Harry shouted, "or I'll really lose it!"

"You go look for Hagrid," said Hermoine.

Explanation:

In American English, these are the rules when it comes to the ways quotation marks and other punctuation marks are written:

• Commas and periods always go inside the quotation marks ("You go look for Hagrid," said Hermoine.)
• Dashes, colons, and semicolons almost always go outside the quotation marks.
• Question marks and exclamation marks sometimes go inside and sometimes stay outside.

When you're splitting a quotation in half, you should add a comma after the speaker to separate the speaker from the second part of the quote ("Don't make me angry," Harry shouted, "or I'll really lose it!").
