Answer 1

This is an example of dialogue.

"Algernon, did you hear what I was playing?" Jane asked.

"Whatd'ya mean? The horrid out-of-tune canapony?"

"No the lilting Ballad."

"No, I didn't hear that."

"Ah. Then how about that jazz and tap?"

"Si, muy bien musica. Tu vas a la audicion.
Dialogue is simply a discussion in print (or in a play) between two or more people. A brief sample of dialogue could be: Me: Hey, how's it going? You: Fine! What have you been up to lately? Me: Not much. Been mostly hanging out at home. You? You: I got engaged over the weekend.

Nobody can tell you what to write - you must write what is in your own heart and mind. Copying what someone else has written leads to dull, boring writing that is not going to help you learn how to write better.

If you want to write believable dialogue, be observant in your daily life and pay attention to the way that people speak so that you can develop the art of concocting conversations that keeps the audience listening.

Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.

When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

This is an example of dialouge.

Demonstrating relationship goes along with the talking. People can tell if you're friendly or not, if you're close and have personal jokes between you, and if you're very close "significant others" just by the way you talk.

"Well, we're home," Jess said with a smile. Kye opened the door and carried the bags inside.

"We're going to have to wash all these clothes after that trip, Jess."

Agent Kirkham followed them inside. "You two seem to have forgotten that we still have a job to finish."

Kye and Jess groaned in unison.
