commas go after question marks
A sentence in a quotation may contain commas.
No, commas do not typically go before "considering" when it is used in the middle of a sentence. However, if "considering" is at the beginning of a sentence, a comma may be used after it.
Quotations should go after the period at the end of the sentence when copying a sentence from a book.
Single commas around extracts are called "quotation marks" or "inverted commas". They are used to indicate that the text inside them is a direct quotation or a piece of text being highlighted.
Commas can be used in direct quotations to separate two complete thoughts or elements within the quotation. For example: "I am tired," she said, "and I need some rest."
Not necessarily. Commas are a feature of sentence structure.
Quotation marks typically go before or after commas, depending on whether the comma is part of the quoted material. If the comma is part of the quoted material, it goes inside the quotation marks. If the comma is not part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.
In American English, commas and periods are typically placed inside the quotation marks, while in British English, they are placed outside. It's important to check the style guide you are following for specific guidelines.
British style places commas and periods that are not part of the quoted material outside of the quotation marks. Also, in technical applications or when discussing coding, punctuation that is not part of a text string should be placed outside of the quotes. Placing commas and periods inside the quotes implies that they are part of the string to be displayed.
The correct placement of commas would be: "Do you go to school, Shaina?" The comma is placed after "school" and before the name "Shaina" to create a pause between the question and the person being addressed.
Before
after the quotation marks because if put before the quotation mark, that makes the quote seem like if it continues after what you wrote even if the quote has ended. period marks go before the quotation mark because that is ending a sentence... period.
