What is Dialogue? Dialogue is the written conversational exchange between two or more characters. How to Write Dialogue Conventional English grammar rules tell us that you should always start a new paragraph when someone speaks in your writing. “Let’s get the heck out of here right now,” Mary said, turning away from the mayhem. John looked around the pub. “Maybe you’re right,” he said and followed her towards the door. Sometimes, though, in the middle of a narrative paragraph, your main character needs to speak. Mary ducked away from flying fists. The fight at the pub was getting out of control. One man was grabbing bar stools and throwing them at others, and while she watched, another one who you could tell worked out regularly grabbed men by their shirt collars and tossed them out of the way. Almost hit by one flying person, she turned to John and said, “Let’s get the heck out of here right now.” John looked around the pub. “Maybe you’re right,” he said and followed her towards the door. In my research, I couldn’t find any hard and fast rules that govern how to use dialogue in the middle of a narrative paragraph. It all depends on what style manual your publisher or editorial staff follow. For example, in the Chicago Manual of Style, putting dialogue in the middle of paragraphs depends on the context. As in the above example, if the dialogue is a natural continuation of the sentences that come before, it can be included in your paragraph. The major caveat is if someone new speaks after that, you start a new paragraph and indent it. On the other hand, if the dialogue you’re writing departs from the sentences that come before it, you should start a new paragraph and indent the dialogue. The fight at the pub was getting out of control. One man was grabbing bar stools and throwing them at others, and another one who you could tell worked out regularly grabbed men by their shirt collars and tossed them out of the way. “Let’s get the heck out of here right now,” Mary said, turning away from the mayhem. John looked around the pub. “Maybe you’re right,” he said and followed her towards the door. Punctuation for dialogue stays consistent whether it’s included in your paragraph or set apart as a separate paragraph. We have a great article on how to punctuate your dialogue here Where Does Punctuation Go in Dialogue? It’s often a stylistic choice whether to include your dialogue as part of the paragraph. If you want your dialogue to be part of the scene described in preceding sentences, you can include it. But if you want your dialogue to stand out from the action, start it in the next paragraph. How to Punctuate Your Dialogue Dialogue is a fantastic way to bring your readers into the midst of the action. They can picture the main character talking to someone in their mind’s eye, and it gives them a glimpse into how your character interacts with others. That said, dialogue is hard to punctuate, especially since there are different rules for different punctuation marks—because nothing in English grammar is ever easy, right? We’re going to try to make this as easy as possible. So we’ll start with the hardest punctuation marks to understand. Periods and Commas For American English, periods and commas always go inside your quotation marks, and commas are used to separate your dialogue tag from the actual dialogue when it comes at the beginning of a sentence or in the middle. Here are a few examples Nancy said, “Let’s go to the park today since the weather is so beautiful.” “Let’s go to the park today since the weather is so beautiful,” she said. “Let’s go to the park today,” she said, “since the weather is so beautiful.” British English puts the periods and commas inside the quotation marks if they’re actually part of the quoted words or sentence. Consider the following example She sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, the theme song from The Wizard of Oz. In the above example, the comma after “Rainbow” is not part of the quoted material and thus belongs outside the quotation marks. But for most cases when you’re punctuating dialogue, the commas and periods belong inside the quotation marks. Question Marks and Exclamation Points Where these punctuation marks go depends on the meaning of your sentence. If your main character is asking someone a question or exclaiming about something, the punctuation marks belongs inside the quotation marks. Nancy asked, “Does anyone want to go to the park today?” Marija said, “That’s fantastic news!” “Please say you’re still my friend!” Anna said. “Can we just leave now?” asked Henry. But if the question mark or exclamation point is for the sentence as a whole instead of just the words inside the quotation marks, they belong outside of the quotes. Does your physical therapist always say to his patients, “You just need to try harder”? Do you agree with the saying, “All’s fair in love and war”? Single Quotation Marks Only use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes, such as when a character is repeating something someone else has said. Single quotes are never used for any other purpose. Avery said, “I saw a sign that read Welcome to America’s Greatest City in the Midwest’ when I entered town this morning.” “I heard Mona say to her mom, You know nothing whatsoever about me,’ ” said Jennifer. Some experts put a space after the single quote and before the main quotation mark like in the above example to make it easier for the reader to understand. Final Thoughts Here’s a trickier example of single quotation marks, question marks, and ending punctuation, just to mix things up a little. Mark said, “I heard her ask her lawyer, Am I free to go?’ after the verdict was read this morning.” Perfectly clear, right?

Basedon direction and tone, I grouped conversations into four types: debate, dialogue, discourse, and diatribe. Debate is a competitive, two-way conversation. The goal is to win an argument or convince someone, such as the other participant or third-party observers. Dialogue is a cooperative, two-way conversation.

Even90 to 100 years ago, there were silent movies with no audio dialogue, but dialogue cards were used, and background music set the tone of the scene. Take a look at the following example of a scene with and without dialogue. Jack, Suzie and Alec are walking home after work. Jack begins the conversation, as he always does.
