Speech marks
![Page 5: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Speech marks go around the bits of a sentence actually
being said.
“Hello!”
![Page 6: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Every time we open a set of speech marks we need to
use a capital letter.
“Hi!”
![Page 7: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
We also need to put some form of punctuation into
each piece of dialogue before we close the speech
marks. !?,.
“Yo dude!”
![Page 8: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We also need to start a new line every time a different character
speaks.
“Hello, Matthew!” said James.
“Hi!” replied Sophie.
“How are you?” he asked.
“I am fine and dandy, thanks!”

We need to remember:1. To put speech marks around the
words being said.2. To start each piece of speech with a
capital letter.3. To punctuate the speech before we
close it.4. To start a new line for each new
speaker.

Reporting speech
There are two ways of reporting what somebody says;
• direct speech
• indirect (or reported) speech.
![Page 19: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Direct Speech
In direct speech we use the speaker’s own words.
“In text we put speech marks around the words spoken”
“Speech marks are also called inverted commas”
![Page 20: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Indirect speech
In indirect speech (sometimes called reported speech) we do not use the exact words of the speaker.
Instead we report what was said.
We sometimes need to change pronouns and verb tenses. We don’t use speech marks.
“I am going home.”
Helen said she was going home.
![Page 21: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Punctuating Direct Speech.
When using direct speech in your writing you need to use the correct punctuation.
• The exact words spoken must be enclosed in speech marks.
• The first word of the speech must begin with a capital letter.
• The words in the speech marks must be separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.
• You must use a new line when a new speaker begins to speak.
![Page 22: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Using Speech in Your Writing
Using speech in fiction and non-fiction writing adds variety.
However, writing out long pieces of direct speech can make your writing confusing. It also slows down the action.
Reported speech can summarise what the speaker has said so that the action moves along more quickly.
Reported speech is useful when you want a contrast between what a character says and what he or she is thinking. (e.g. Lady Macbeth)
![Page 23: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Advantages and disadvantages of each type of speech.• Direct speech can show what a
character is like.
• Long speeches can be boring.
• Too many speakers can confuse the reader.
• Direct speech can add variety to writing.
• Indirect speech can be summarised briefly so that it does not slow down the pace of the action.
• It can show a contrast between what a character is saying and what he or she is thinking.
![Page 24: Speech Punctuation - Schudio · went to meet David Beckham ... •Emily was phoned by David. •The computer was repaired by the engineer. To change sentences from passive to active](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041112/5f17ea5f8bab1000176e42b9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Summary
• In your writing use mainly reported speech. Use direct speech only to emphasise the main points your characters make.
• Don’t bore and confuse your readers by writing out long conversations between your characters.
• Direct speech should be used sparingly.
• It is most effective when only the most forceful statements are put into direct speech.

The dog bit the man.
In this sentence the dog is the subject. The sentence is about him.
The verb is bit.

A sentence is written in active voice when the subject of the sentence performs the action in the sentence. e.g. The girl was washing the dog.
A sentence is written in passive voice when the subject of the sentence has an action done to it by someone or something else. e.g. The dog was being washed by the girl.
