LC: To use inverted commas to punctuate direct speech.

Inverted Commas

Direct speech is when the exact words that have been said by a person are written down inside inverted commas.

Inverted commas go before and after direct speech. They surround what was said by the speaker.

For example:

"I'm pleased to have raised so much money," said Lucy.
