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.
