![Page 2: How to use commas with quotations. By Drew 8G. So, how do you use commas? 0 Commas are used with quotations to set off any explanatory words of a direct.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e455503460f94b3ac1b/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
So, how do you use commas?
0Commas are used with quotations to set off any explanatory words of a direct quotation, i.e.:
Josh said,Adam persuaded,Grace answered,
Etc.
![Page 3: How to use commas with quotations. By Drew 8G. So, how do you use commas? 0 Commas are used with quotations to set off any explanatory words of a direct.](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022110209/56649e455503460f94b3ac1b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
So, how does that fit in?
0 In a sentence with the direct quotation at the end, it would be written like this:
Tyler asked, “What are we having for supper?”
0The explanatory word would have a comma at the end of it, and the quote would begin with a capital letter.

That can’t be it.
0No, to add sentence variety, writers will add the explanatory at the end of the sentence, like this:
“I walked home today,” said Trina.
0 In this case, the period in the quote is replaced with a comma.

But what if it’s a question?
0 If the explanatory word is at the end of the quote, and the quote is a question or an exclamation, it doesn’t end with a comma, like this:
“Honey, why is the baby on fire?” asked Jim.
0 In this case, the explanatory word would be lower cased, even if the quotation ends with something other than a comma.

Are there any more rules?
0Yes, sometimes the writer inserts divided quotations. These are used to add more sentence varieties.
“Orlando,” Jim said, “is a beautiful place.”
0The two quotations is one sentence split by the explanatory word. The first quotation would end with a comma, and the explanatory word would also end with a comma. The next quotation would also begin un-capitalized.

Is there something I’m forgetting?
0Yes, a writer should never mix up direct quotations with indirect quotations. Indirect quotations do not have commas in between the explanatory word and the quote, like this:
Charlie said he wasn’t going to the party due to his curfew.
0You can see that it isn’t a direct quotation, therefore it doesn’t involve a comma.
