Dialogue Fix-Up

In this worksheet, students revise lines of dialogue by correcting punctuation, capitalization, and placement of quotation marks. Each item provides an improperly formatted sentence, and students must rewrite it correctly on the lines provided. This helps learners understand key conventions of writing dialogue, such as where commas belong and how to format speaker tags. Students strengthen proofreading skills as they identify errors in mechanics and structure. The worksheet supports mastery of dialogue rules needed for narrative writing and improves clarity in written conversations.
