Read each section carefully and follow the instructions to practice using dialogue.
Dialogue is when characters in a story talk to each other. We use quotation marks ( " " ) to show exactly what a character says. We also use a speaker tag (like 'said Lily' or 'asked Tom') to tell who is talking.
Example:
"Let's go to the park!" shouted Sam.
1. Which sentence shows dialogue?
The cat purred softly.
"I love ice cream!" exclaimed Mia.
Birds sang in the trees.
The sun was shining brightly.
Add quotation marks where they belong in these sentences.
2. Dad asked, What do you want for dinner?
3. I want pizza replied Sarah.
