Dialogue

Dialogue is a writing style particularly focused in writing conversations

Here is a photo and under is an example of dialogue 

“Why did I agree to do this?” Gerald wailed, “You should’ve brought Janet instead!”

“I probably should’ve brought Janet, she would be screaming way less than you right now!” Semira sneered.

“Well, if I die it's your fault!” Gerald bellowed.

“You’re not gonna die you big baby!” Semira asserted, “Look, we’re almost down!”

“This is it, I’m gonna die!” Gerald cried “I love you mom, I love you dad!”

“Gerald you’re not gonna die!” Semira exclaimed


Dialogue uses speech marks that sit on both sides of the text that a character is speaking.

You must place a piece of punctuation at the end of your dialogue

Example :

"Go away" Sarah cried ❌

Or

"Go away!" Sarah cried ✅

The piece of punctuation has to sit inside the ending speech mark

If you have no need for a question mark or exclamation

mark then you can just use a comma

Example :

"Thank you," Jenna replied
