Can you put commas in a sentence that is quotations?

Yes, you can put commas in a sentence that is in quotations. Here are some examples:

Commas within the quoted sentence:

* "The quick brown fox, jumps over the lazy dog," said the teacher.

* "I went to the store, bought some milk, and came home," she said.

Commas outside the quoted sentence:

* "That's a great idea," she said, "let's do it!"
