Q

How would you structure a sentence that ends with or has speech in the middle of it?

A

Voices shouted, “Stop!” but he kept running.

She said, “Good morning,” and then sat down.

If the quote is embedded in the middle of a sentence, place a comma between the dialogue tag and the opening quotation mark. Begin the quote with a capital letter and end it with either a comma, an exclamation point, or a question mark depending on what the quote says. When the non-quote sentence resumes, begin it with a lower-case word, unless said word is a proper noun 

If the quote marks the end of the sentence, end it with a full stop (or an exclamation point or a question mark).

His world ended with a murmur of, “You should have done better.”
