Periods and Commas in Quotation Marks
Rule one: ? or !
If it’s
part of the quotation, it goes inside the quotation marks.
-I have never read the article, “Where Are
They Now?”
If it’s
not part of the quotation, it goes outside the q.marks.
-Have you ever seen the TV show, “Spongebob
Squarepants”?
Rule two: , or .
Commas
and periods always go inside the
q.marks, no matter what.

outside for a little while.”
-“I will in a minute,” she replied, “as soon
as I finish this chapter.”
