Quotation
marks are used
to show
someone’s exact
words.

1) Place a comma after the word that
lets you know the person is saying
something.
Mickey said happily, “Come visit Disney
World!”
Rule 2) Insert quotation marks before the
first word of the person’s exact words and
after the punctuation mark at the end of the
person’s last word.
The crowd exclaimed, “What a
wonderful parade!”
Rule 3) Capitalize the first word
of the person’s exact words.
Caitlyn screamed, “Goofy, this
is a blast!”
Can you find the
mistakes in
