1, What is the correct sentence?
- “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
- “Hurry up”, shouted the coach.
- “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
- Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
The correct sentences are:
- “Hurry up!” shouted the coach.
- “Hurry up!”, shouted the coach. (This option is also correct, following similar comma placement rules to the previous examples, though less common than placing the comma inside a quotation with a period).
The other two options are incorrect due to:
“Hurry up!” shouted the coach. (The comma is missing after “Hurry up!” to separate the quote from the dialogue tag “shouted the coach”).
Hurry up!” shouted the coach. (Missing opening quotation mark).
2, What is the correct sentence?
- Rani said, “I am coming”.
- Rani said “I am coming”.
- Rani said, I am coming.
- “I am coming”, said Rani.
The correct sentences are:
- Rani said, “I am coming”.
- “I am coming,” said Rani.
The other options are incorrect due to punctuation errors:
- Rani said “I am coming”. This is incorrect because a comma is missing after “said” to introduce the direct quotation.
- Rani said, I am coming. This is incorrect because quotation marks are missing around the direct speech.
