Question

Does the French language have the same quotation mark system as the English language?

For example: The quotation marks behold the dialogue and after it is the verb and the person who carries out the verb: "I like your toy car," said Timmy. How's it going to be in French, will it be different or similar?

Answer 1

same

Answer 2

Hi, I think the French use different ones.

They use « and » in place of our quotation marks.

Hope that helps. =)

Answer 3

I books, I've read a few that use a dash. I've seen one English book use this, but in a few French books I've read, it's simply a dash to indicate dialogue.

— No he cannot, he is busy, she said.

— But why? It's not fair! He glanced over at her, fiddling with the piece of paper in his hands.

— Because he has to clean up his room.

Sort of like that. That's in the literature I've read, though.

A lot of the time, I use a guillemet-

«»

So use those in the place of quotation marks:

«No he cannot, he is busy,» she said

Answer 4

its actualy the same
