Quotations Quiz!

After your teacher has given you permission, please click on the link below and take the quiz on quotation marks.

Remember the rules:

A comma comes before the quotation mark unless there is a question or an exclamation.

If the person is still talking at the end of the sentence the closed quotation is the LAST thing in the sentence, not a period.

"Do you know how to use quotations?" the teacher asked. "I think so," said the student, "but I might
need a reminder." The teacher smiled and replied, "Okay, let's start our review."
