Using a Comma before Speech

Dear children,

Can you tell what's missing in this sentence?

Dan asked "What's wrong? Are you all right?"

Yes, a comma is missing. We practised adding commas after saying words and before the speech starts.

The correct answer should be:

Dan asked, "What's wrong? Are you all right?"

Another example we used in class:

Man Min said, "Happy birthday to you!"

Let's remember that!


Sincerely,
Mrs Soh
