Quotations!

Quotations go outside of the punctuation!

Example:

Del said, "I can't believe it's not butter."

"I love to look outside," replied Del.

I know there are exceptions with question marks and exclamation points. Can someone jump in there.

Another Rule That is Often Broken:

Insure/Ensure

Insure is used to reference money.

Example: It is expensive to insure a car.

Ensure is used to secure or gurantee without referencing to money.

Example: Exercising ensures a healthy body.
