Quotation marks are like little helpers that show us when someone is talking in a story. We use them at the beginning and end of a sentence to show the exact words a person is saying. Think of them as little "earmuffs" around the speaker's words. They make it clear who is talking and what they're saying!
For example, if Lily says, "I love to read!", the quotation marks tell us that those are Lily's exact words. Using quotation marks correctly makes our writing clear and fun to read. Let's practice using them!
Match the words to their definitions:
| Words | Definitions |
|---|---|
| 1. Dialogue | A. The punctuation marks " " |

| 4. Say | D. The person who is talking |
| 5. Conversation | E. A talk between two or more people |
