Dialogue To Sentence

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on the use of quotation marks in written dialogue. It features a conversation between two characters, Betty and Velma, with each line of dialogue presented in a speech bubble. Students are tasked with rewriting the dialogue onto the provided lines, using correct sentence structure and punctuation, including quotation marks and commas where necessary. The worksheet combines the elements of character interaction with the technical aspects of punctuation to form direct speech.

The aim of this worksheet is to teach students how to properly structure and punctuate direct speech in writing. It guides them on how to enclose spoken words with quotation marks and use commas to separate the dialogue tags (such as “said Betty”) from the actual spoken words. Through this exercise, students learn the importance of punctuation in clarifying who is speaking and how to format dialogue correctly. The worksheet also subtly reinforces reading comprehension by having students follow the flow of a conversation.
