gets its own paragraph.
Each speaker in dialogue should begin a new paragraph on it's own line. The next speaker would be on its separate line in a paragraph.
In dialogue, each separate speaker starts a new paragraph on a new line. When a speaker enters again later, it should still be a new paragraph on a new line.
This makes it easier to see who is speaking; you don't want one speaker's dialogue to get mixed up with another speaker's dialogue.
Yes, Dialogue should be like a conversation. It needs pauses and punctuation, so in each time the speaker changes you start a new line and indent.
each new line of dialouge
Yes, typically a new line is started after speech in order to indicate a change in dialogue. This helps to make the dialogue clear and easier to read for the reader.
No, you do not have to indent each time someone speaks in a dialogue. You can simply start a new line with the speaker's name or dialogue tag to indicate a change in speaker. Indenting is one way to organize dialogue but not mandatory.
You start a new paragraph when the subject changes, and if you're writing dialogue, also when the speaker changes.
Certainly, so long as the rest of the paragraph pertains to the dialogue. You can describe the character's actions and thoughts. Once you move on to another character, though, you need a new paragraph.
Sort of... when a new person begins speaking, you should start a new line, but not a new paragraph. Hope that helped :D
Start a new paragraph whenever someone new speaks, or when the topic changesIndent each paragraph as usualUse quotation marks (") to show speechShow who is speaking by giving the character action (Joe laughed. "That's silly.") or by dialogue tags (he said/she asked)
