<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is Dialogue? </h2>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Top of form&nbsp;</li><li>It is a conversation that&#8217;s written or spoken between two individuals or more.&nbsp;</li><li>It could be used in a play script.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>It does not usually require speech marks. (Unless the speaker in the play is quoting someone.)&nbsp;</li><li>It is an extended piece, as the speakers are speaking in turns.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>Each time a new person speaks, it should be put on a new line.&nbsp;</li><li>So the format of a dialogue in a play script is:&nbsp;</li><li>Character&#8217;s name: _______________________ (dialogue)&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Example</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Princess Rose: Stop!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Fire Knight: What?&nbsp;</p>



<p>Princess Rose: You can&#8217;t destroy this poor little innocent creature.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Knight 2: Why not?&nbsp;</p><div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes"  data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



<p>Princess Rose: Because he is adorable!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Nighty Knight: Stand aside.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Princess Lily: Never! We are princesses, and you knights must do whatever we say, right?&nbsp;</p>



<p>Knight 4: Well&#8230; I guess so.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Princess Lily: We command you to be friends with this little creature.&nbsp;</p><div class="fillWidthInMob"><a loading='lazy' class="showAdInAllRes"  data-toggle="modal" data-target=#homeLeadForm data-heading="Get Expert Guidance" href="#"><img class="img-fluid" alt="parallel" src=https://a.storyblok.com/f/128066/1100x230/00b28b4876/11-applying-for-collages_leaderboard-1100x230.jpg /></a></div>



<p>Fire Knight: What?!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Princess Lily: Swear it!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Knight 2: Fine, Fine! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Knights: We swear it.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Keep in Mind </h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>If the dialogue is written as direct speech, then use quotation marks (“ ”) &#8211; to distinguish them within a sentence.&nbsp;</li><li>All punctuations related to the spoken sentence/ dialogue should be inside the quotation marks.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Example</strong>&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>&#8220;Let’s go to the mall!&#8221; said Robin Sparkles.&nbsp;</li><li>&#8220;That is Legendary. Where can we see it?&#8221; asked Barney.&nbsp;</li><li>Tom: I love Gooseberries!&nbsp;</li><li>Jerry: I don’t like the taste!&nbsp;</li><li>&#8220;The car is talking!&#8221; Emma shrieked.&nbsp;</li><li>End the first section of speech with a comma if the speech is broken up by a reporting clause. But this comma should be within the quotation marks. This shows that the speech is not finished.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going in there,&#8221; Kyle said anxiously, &#8220;It&#8217;s dark inside!&#8221;&nbsp;</li></ul>
