Teacher Notes

When we want to write what people or characters say, we sometimes use speech marks.
We only put what they say inside speech marks.
We often end speech with a comma (inside the speech marks), if the name of the person speaking comes after what they've said.
We always put a comma before the speech (outside the speech marks), if the person speaking comes before what they say.
