Fine the error in punctuation or capitalization
1.
"After you've rested," Frank said, "please help me move these boxes."
"Can we wait until later?" asked Emily. "I have a lot of homework."
"It won't take very long." replied Frank. (my choice)
Emily told him that she would be right there.
2.
Perry asked if anyone knew the words to "Locked Out."
"Wasn't that in the movie (Reality Bites," asked Grace? ()=italics my choice)
Garrison yelled from the other room, "I lived that movie!"
"In fact," he continued, "I've seen it three times."
Can some one help me? Please
Perry asked if anyone knew the words to "Locked Out."
As long as "Locked Out" is a song, then this is correct. Song and poem titles are in quotation marks.
Garrison yelled from the other room, "I loved that movie!
This sentence needs some closing quotation marks at the very end.
"In fact," he continued, "I've seen it three times." (my choice)
This sentence is correct.
"Wasn't that in the movie Reality Bites," asked Grace?"
This sentence is incorrect because of the placement of the question mark and because there should be no quotation marks at the very end.
#2 error in punctuation or capitaliztion.
Perry asked if anyone knew the words to "Locked Out."
Garrison yelled from the other room, "I loved that movie!
"In fact," he continued, "I've seen it three times." (my choice)
"Wasn't that in the movie Reality Bites," asked Grace?"
Reality Bites is italics
Thank you!!
You're welcome. =)
1. The error in punctuation is in the last sentence. The word "replied" should not be capitalized. The corrected sentence is: "It won't take very long," replied Frank.
2. The error in punctuation is in the second sentence. The closing parentheses ")" should be placed after the closing quotation mark, like this: "Wasn't that in the movie (Reality Bites)," asked Grace? The corrected sentence is: "Wasn't that in the movie (Reality Bites)?" asked Grace.
I agree with you on #1.
I'm confused about #2. Which words are in italics? And what is that? A movie? A TV show? What?
