 DIALOGUE
IS COMMONLY A CONVERSATION
BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE IN
A NARRATIVE WORK. IT CAN BRING
A STORY AND CHARACTERS TO
LIFE.
 OUTER INNER
DIALOGUE DIALOGUE
IS THE CLASSIC DIALOGUE IS LIKE A MONOLOGUE
SET OFF BY QUOTATION WHEREIN THE CHARACTER
MARKS WHEREIN THE TALKS OR THINKS
CHARACTER TALKS TO SOMETHING TO HIMSELF OR
ANOTHER CHARACTER IN HERSELF. IT IS EITHER
THE STORY. SET OFF BY QUOTATION
MARKS OR ITALICS.
 WRITING AND FORMATTING A DIALOGUE

1. Quotation marks (“ ”) are placed around the exact words of the

character. For internal dialogue, quotation marks (third person) or
italics (first person) can be used.

2. Comma is used if a tag that identifies the speaker is

added. When the tag comes first, it is followed by a comma.
(e.g., Mary asked, “When will we start the class?”) While when
the tag comes after the dialogue, the comma comes at the end
of the dialogue before the closing quotation marks. (e.g., “We
were having a great class,” Mary prompted.)

3. Each time a different character begins to speak, a new

paragraph begins. However, when a character makes a long speech,
you may break up the dialogue into paragraphs as they change
subject. In this case, begin each paragraph with quotation marks,
but put the closing quotation marks only at the end of the speech.
CONVERSATION
IS AN INFORMAL SPOKEN
INTERCHANGE OF
THOUGHTS AND
INFORMATION BETWEEN
OR AMONG PEOPLE.

MAKING A GOOD
CONVERSATION
1. Follow the rules of etiquette.
2. Ask the right questions and
give the right answers. Think of
topics you can talk about.
3. Use proper voice tone, facial
expressions, and body language.
4. Do not worry too much about
the accuracy of your grammar, but
do not completely ignore it.
5. Be an active listener.
6. Ask for clarification.
7. End the conversation before
you are forced to.
INTERVIEW
INTERVIEWS ARE MORE FORMAL THAN CONVERSATION
AND DIALOGUE. IT INVOLVES AN INTERVIEWER AND AN
INTERVIEWEE. ALSO, IT IS THE MOST PURPOSIVE
FORM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN TWO OR MORE
PEOPLE SINCE IT AIMS TO SECURE UNDERSTANDING,
TO ESTABLISH ACCEPTANCE, AND TO MOTIVATE
ACTION.
