MARKING BRAINLIEST: Ok so I just need some help on a little sentence I wrote. Its my friend (josh) speaking to me about a party.

I just need to know if the punctuation for this sentence is correct or I should split it into 2 sentences and if I have to explain how.
BELOW:
"Oh yea," Josh says, "I forgot to mention i'm throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know, so get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

Answer:

Overall, this looks great, but there are a few minor errors that can easily be fixed. I'll fix some problems with the bold and italic fonts:

Explanation:

Original text: "Oh yea," Josh says, "I forgot to mention i'm throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know, so get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

The word "yea," is usually spelled like this in an informal text, but if you are writing a story/essay, use the correct form of this word as, "Yeah."

Also, after your quoted text, you write, "Josh says,..." and for this, you would need to replace the comma (,) with a period (.) because these are two separate independent sentences. So it would be, "Josh says."

And then, in the second sentence, you need to capitalize, "i'm," since it is a proper noun that the subject is using. So, it would be, "I'm."

And, if needed, you can split the second quotation text into two sentences by replacing the comma beside the word, "know," with a period, and then you should capitalize and add a comma beside to the word, "so," since it is the beginning of a new sentence. But, if you want, you can keep it as it is.

So, your text should be written as the following:

"Oh yeah," Josh says. "I forgot to mention I'm throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know. So, get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."

I hope this improves your work. Let me know if all goes well! :D

Answer:

Its looks fine as is, I would just change it to "Oh yea." Josh says, ect.

Or you could say "oh yea." Josh says, "I forgot to mention that throwing a little gathering with some people you and I know." Put something here about what 'Josh' is doing (he looks at you, he looks away, ect.) "You better get comfortable because tonight is going to be one hell of a night."
