This Grade 4 grammar worksheet helps students learn how to write dialogue correctly using quotation marks and proper punctuation. As children begin writing longer conversations in stories, they must understand how spoken words are written, how punctuation fits inside quotation marks, and how dialogue tags like said, asked, and shouted are used.
With clear examples and step-by-step practice, this worksheet guides learners from choosing correctly written dialogue to rewriting sentences and editing a full passage. These activities strengthen storytelling skills, improve punctuation accuracy, and help children write natural, easy-to-read conversations.

1. Show spoken words clearly in stories and conversations.
