You put the quotation marks around what was said, start a new paragraph for each speaker, and put any punctuation marks inside the quotation marks.
You use a period inside of quotation marks when the quote you are using ends in a full stop and the sentence in which the quotation takes place is also ending.Example:She said, "He has not done his homework."
