English Grammar                                                        Lesson 18 – More About Quotations

IF A QUOTATION IS AN ASKING SENTENCE, IT ENDS WITH A QUESTION MARK.  IF A QUOTATION IS AN EXCLAIMING SENTENCE, IT ENDS WITHAN EXCLAMATION MARK.  THE END MARK COMES BEFORE THE QUOTATION MARK.

Example:

1.       “Behold the Man “  cried Pilate

After “Man” there should be an exclamation mark (make sure it is inside the quotation mark) and after Pilate a period needs to be placed.

Please continue correcting the following sentences just like you have done in the example.  (These must be corrected in your English Grammar Copy Book)
