 Dialogue tags
I have a question about punctuating dialogue. Which is appropriate?
"Josh is the most beautiful man in Europe," Sarah spoke up.
OR
"Josh is the most beautiful man in Europe." Sarah spoke up. (though this might go before the dialogue)
For this question, I'm not looking for a general response, but one specific to the use of "spoke up" (rather than said, whispered, shouted, etc.) Also, I'd appreciate an explanation for why "spoke up" is different from the others (if it is), or why it's not (if it isn't). |
