5. 2. If the sentence continues
after the quotation, you’ll
usually need a comma AFTER
your quotation but BEFORE
your final quotation mark:
-“I wish this workshop were
over,” John said.
-“Not me,” Mary replied, “I’ve
got to go to the dentist this
afternoon.”

6. 3. If the quotation ends
in an exclamation point
or question mark, omit
the comma:
-“I hate going to the
dentist!” John bellowed.
-“Why are you talking
so loudly?” asked Mary.

9. 6. If you have a quotation
within a quotation, standard
American usage indicates that
you double the outermost
quotes (“”) and use single
quotes for the inner quotations
(‘’).
My dad said to me, “Your long-
haired, so-called ‘best friend’
was just over here asking if
you could loan her some
money. I told him ‘absolutely
not.’”

15. Parenthesis
tis2016english@gmail.com
Rule 1. Use parentheses to enclose
information that clarifies or is used as
an aside.
Example: He finally answered (after
taking five minutes to think) that he
did not understand the question.
If material in parentheses ends a
sentence, the period goes after the
parentheses.
Example: He gave me a nice bonus
($500).
16. Parenthesis
tis2016english@gmail.com
Rule 2. Periods go inside parentheses
only if an entire sentence is inside the
parentheses.
Example: Please read the analysis.
(You'll be amazed.)
This is a rule with a lot of wiggle room.
An entire sentence in parentheses is
often acceptable without an enclosed
period:
Example: Please read the analysis
(you'll be amazed).
17. Parenthesis
tis2016english@gmail.com
Rule 3 Take care to punctuate
correctly when punctuation is
required both inside and outside
parentheses.
Example: You are late (aren't
you?).
Note the question mark within the
parentheses. The period after the
parentheses is necessary to bring
the entire sentence to a close.
18. Parenthesis
tis2016english@gmail.com
Rule 4. Parentheses, despite
appearances, are not part of the
subject.
Example: Joe (and his trusty
mutt) was always welcome.
If this seems awkward, try
rewriting the sentence:
Example: Joe (accompanied by
his trusty mutt) was always
welcome.
19. Parenthesis
tis2016english@gmail.com
Rule 5. Commas are more
likely to follow parentheses
than precede them.
Incorrect: When he got
home, (it was already dark
outside) he fixed dinner.
Correct: When he got home
(it was already dark outside),
he fixed dinner.
