Question

Which sentence is punctuated correctly? “Yes,” the lady said, I would love to dance with you. “Yes” the lady said “I would love to dance with you.” “Yes,” the lady said, “I would love to dance with you.” Yes, the lady said. “I would love to dance with you.” 21. Why is the word “They” capitalized in the following sent

Answer 1

"Yes," the lady said, "I would love to dance with you."

Step-by-step explanation:

What the lady says is a single sentence: "Yes, I would love to dance with you." But since it is interrupted by narration ("the lady said"), quotation marks are used to mark the boundaries of each element. Closing commas and periods go before the closing quotation marks.

Answer 2

“Yes,” the lady said, “I would love to dance with you.” is the correct sentence. Quotations of any length must always be set off with a comma before the quote.
