EnglishNEB 2076 (old course)
Write the correct punctuation mark in the blank space of each of the following sentences: a) She said to me, “I am coming ” b) “What a beautiful day ” he said. c) “Please help me ” she requested.
1Answer
a) She said to me, "I am coming,"
b) "What a beautiful day!" he said.
c) "Please help me," she requested.
Explanation:
- a) The sentence is a direct speech where the speaker’s words are enclosed in quotation marks. Since the quoted sentence is a complete statement, it requires a comma inside the quotation marks before the closing quotation mark.
- b) The sentence expresses strong emotion (admiration), so it requires an exclamation mark (!) at the end of the quoted sentence.
- c) The sentence is a request, which is a command or polite request, so it requires a comma (,**) inside the quotation marks before the closing quotation mark.
Note: Always ensure that punctuation marks inside quotation marks are placed correctly to reflect the grammatical structure of the sentence.
