5 English Workbook week beginning 22nd June 2020
Look at this BBC websitehttps://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zjm6pg8 to learn about more about inverted commas (speech marks)
Remember:
When you are writing, inverted commas (also called speech marks) go
before and after any words that a character says (known as direct
speech).
For example: "I'm hungry," complained Goldilocks.
If another character replies, the rule is to use another set of inverted
commas and put the new person speaking on a new line.
For example:
"There’s some porridge on the stove,” said her mum.
"But I've already had some porridge today!” exclaimed Goldilocks.
Any punctuation goes inside the inverted commas at the end of what the
character is saying.
Now watch this fun clip to make sure you've really understood inverted
commas.
You could even sing and dance along with Mr Smith, if you like!
Rewrite this conversation between Dani and her father, adding in the missing inverted commas.
Remember: Whenever a new person starts talking, you must move onto a new line.
How did you get mud all the way up to your knees? Dani’s father asked, with a frown. I met a dragon in the wood on the way home exclaimed Dani. We went on a big adventure! I suppose you’ll tell me you were fighting giants next! her father said, with a wink. And wizards and witches said Dani smiling. We won!
