Question

Is the passage of dialogue written correctly or incorrectly? "Do you want to come to my house this afternoon to practice our skit together?" Marie asked. "That's a great idea," Belle answered, "and we can make plans for this Saturday, also."

a. correctly
b. incorrectly

Answer 1

This passage of dialogue written incorrectly since the second half should be like this: "That's a great idea," Belle answered. "We can make plans for this Saturday, also." In this case there would be a period after "answered" since she is starting a new sentence.
