"Give me your hand," she said.
Give me your hand,"she said".
It can work either way, depending upon what question you are aksing; I will illustrate. First example: Who was it who said "Give me liberty or give me death"? Pete Seeger once asked the question, "Where have all the flowers gone?" If the quote is a question it gets the question mark, but if the sentence is a question about a quote, then the question mark is outside of the quotation marks. English grammar is very logical (unlike English spelling).

Moreover, this prime example should not be overlooked.
You pushedthe bag. ("bag" is the direct object of "pushed")
There are no quotation marks in that sentence unless you state who's saying it. "Give me your hand", said Mary, would be correct.
Give me your hand,"she said".
No, the quotation marks are not in the correct place. They should be around the words "Give me your hand," as that is what the person is saying.
No. A direct quote is words from another author (besides yourself) that are copied verbatim. This always needs quotes. Paraphrasing does not need quotes. Paraphrasing is when you restate the author's ideas in your own words. However, paraphrases sometimes incorporate direct quotes and these will need to be enclosed in quotation marks. The source should be acknowledged. A paraphrase is not a direct quote and does not require quotation marks. You do, however need to give credit to its author through correct citation.
The speech was full of quotations from Abraham Lincoln's letter.
Yes, direct quotes should be put in quotation marks to indicate that the exact words were spoken or written by someone else. This helps to distinguish the quoted material from the rest of the text and give credit to the original source.
Please provide the quotation you would like an explanation of.
Yes. For example, you may want to give a slang alternative in quotes in brackets.
George said, "This isn't over", which connotes that he is still worried about the situation. NB: This placement of the comma and quotation marks is most commonly used in Great Britain and related speakers/ writers of English. In USA, the convention is to reverse their positions: i.e., "This isn't over," said George. Your style guide can help you decide what the editors prefer.
An indirect quotation is a statement by the writer of what another person said but in the writer's words, not the actual words of the original speaker. For example "Judy said she would drop by after she got off work". A direct quotation uses the exact words of the speaker. for example "'I'll come over when I get off work' said Judy".
A direct quote is a quote that you take from another source. You must put this in quotation marks and give a reference in parenthesis after the quote. An indirect quote is when somebody else's idea or data is taken and paraphrased. For this, quotation marks are not needed, but it still needs to be cited.
Quotation marks are used to indicate that a group of words are being borrowed from another source or spoken by someone else. Place them at the beginning and end of the quoted material. Make sure to use single (') or double (") quotation marks depending on your style guide or the context.
