We use quotation marks (“…”) when we write someone’s exact words. The punctuation mark at the end of the sentence usually goes inside the quotation marks. A comma separates the quotation from the rest of the sentence.

Example: Margaret asked, “What do you mean?”

Task 2 Correct the mistakes in the sentences as if you were a teacher. Use a red pen.
