In a dialogue what punctuation is put around the spoken word?

In dialogue, the spoken word is enclosed in quotation marks.

Here are some examples:

* "Hello," she said.

* "How are you?" he asked.

* "I'm doing well," she replied.

Important Notes:

* Punctuation: Punctuation marks like commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation points go inside the closing quotation mark if they are part of the spoken word.

* Dialogue Tags: Dialogue tags (like "she said," "he asked," etc.) are usually placed outside the closing quotation mark, but they can be placed inside if the sentence structure requires it.

* Multiple Speakers: If you have multiple speakers, use a new paragraph for each speaker's dialogue.
