What is speech marks exclamation mark?

The phrase "speech marks exclamation mark" doesn't have a specific meaning. However, it seems you're likely asking about how to punctuate a sentence that includes both speech marks (quotation marks) and an exclamation mark.

Here's the breakdown:

* Speech marks (quotation marks) are used to indicate spoken or written words directly. There are two main types: double quotes (" ") and single quotes (' ').

* Exclamation marks (!) are used to convey strong emotions, surprise, or emphasis.

Here's how to use them together:

* If the exclamation mark is part of the quoted speech, it goes inside the speech marks:

* "Look out!" she yelled.

* If the exclamation mark is part of the overall sentence, it goes outside the speech marks:

* He shouted, "I'm here!"

Example:

* "I'm so excited!" she exclaimed. (The exclamation mark is part of the quoted speech.)

* "That's amazing!" he shouted, "I can't believe it!" (The first exclamation mark is part of the quoted speech, the second exclamation mark emphasizes the entire sentence.)
