The punctuation mark that is commonly used to offset speech tags in a quotation is a comma. When including speech tags in a quotation, such as "he said" or "she replied," the comma is used to separate the spoken words from the speech tag. For example:
"He said, 'I will go to the store.'"
In this example, the comma separates the spoken words "I will go to the store" from the speech tag "he said."
