I just finished reading "Measure for Measure"

The period or exclamation point would go within the quotes, right? I just needed to make sure. Thanks for your help.

  1. yes it should go within the quotes.


  2. yes, the (.) would be inside the quotes

  3. "Yes, just like this!"

    "Not like this"!

  4. Yes.

    I just finished reading "Measure for Measure."

    You've got it right. :)

  5. Inside the quotes is where its at!

  6. If it has been quoted from other persons point of view like saying, proverbs, adage and et all, or just simple conversation as that in a pocketbook it should be inside the quotation mark.

    "But all the world a stage!"--Shakespeare

    "Oh! Captain, My Captain!"--Walt Whitman

    But if in anyway, it is just as plane as narrative, they are just punctuated with comma and period.

    YOU ARE PERFECTLY SURE!!!

  7. Inside quotation marks

    "Leave me alone!" she said.

    "Thanks for the second helping."
