To make my question on the dialogue punctuation clearer, please tell me if the following things are true:
This is correct: “I hate cars,” Roger said. “They are weird.”
This is incorrect: “I hate cars,” Roger said, “They are weird.”
This is incorrect: “I hate cars.” Roger said. “They are weird.”
This is incorrect: “I hate cars,” Roger said, “they are weird.” (I did this one a lot in TTD, and if I’m not mistake, the only change should be that the commas after “said” should be a period, and the in t in “they” should be capitalized)
This is correct: “I hate cars,” Roger said. “–they are weird.”
This is correct: Roger said, “I hate cars.”
This is correct: “I hate cars,” Roger said.I know I messed up on a lot of those things in TTD, but I fairly confident those things are right (except for the 5th one that is, I’m not so sure about that one).
