Lesson 14 Quotation Marks

Dad : You might have seen these little guys—“ ”—around, but do you know what they’re really for? Well, buckle up, because we’re going to find out! ________________________________________ Dad : First things first—what ARE quotation marks? Quotation marks are those little marks that go around someone’s exact words. When someone says something out loud, we put their words inside quotation marks to show that we’re repeating exactly what they said. ________________________________________ Dad : Let’s look at an example. If your friend says, “I love pizza!” you would write it like this: “I love pizza!” Notice how the quotation marks go around the exact words your friend said? Pretty simple, right? ________________________________________ Dad : Quotation marks help us tell the difference between what someone says and the rest of the sentence. It’s like a special signal! Without them, it’d be tricky to know when someone is talking or when we’re just telling a story. So, let’s see how they work in action! ________________________________________ Dad : Here’s another example: Mom said, “It’s time for bed.” The words inside the quotation marks are what Mom said exactly. Without those quotation marks, it would just be a regular sentence. ________________________________________
