In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To punctuate dialogue with a question mark, simply place the question mark before the end quote, replacing the usual period you would use. The tricky part is that, though it may look strange, you should tag the dialogue with a lower-cased “said” or another speaking verb, because this will still technically be part of the same sentence. Alternately, you can tag the question at the beginning of the sentence or leave out the tag altogether. Here are some examples:  “Why didn't you come to my birthday party?” Mary asked. Tom said, “I thought we were broken up. Aren't we?” “Since when is that a good excuse to ditch someone's party?” “What better excuse can there be?” said Tom. To punctuate your sentences with an exclamation mark, follow the same protocol you'd use to punctuate a sentence with a period or a question mark. Most writers would tell you that exclamation marks should be used sparingly, and that the sentence and story itself should convey excitement. Still, an occasional exclamation mark never hurt anybody. Here are some examples:  “I can't wait for summer to be over so I can go back to school!” said Mary. “Me too!” said Tom. “I've been so bored at home.” Mary said, “You're telling me! I've started three ant collections in this month alone.” This can be a bit tricky and won't be used very frequently, but it can be useful to know how to punctuate dialogue with quotes inside of it. Just use a single quote at the end and beginning of the quoted phrase, which could be the name of a work of art, or a quote attributed to another person. Here are some examples:  “My favorite Hemingway story is 'Hills Like White Elephants,'” Mary said. “Didn't our English teacher say it was 'the world's most boring story'?” asked Tom. If you're writing dialogue between two characters, then if you want to be believable, they won't always politely wait their turns to speak. Sometimes they may interrupt each other in mid-sentence, just as real people often do. To show this interruption, you can use a dash at the end of the interrupted sentence, provide the sentence that is interrupting the original speaker, and consider using a dash at the beginning of the sentence if it is picked up again. Here are some examples:  Tom said, “I thought about calling, but I got too busy and —” “I'm tired of your excuses,” said Mary. “Every time you don't call —” “This is different,” Tom said. “I promise.”
Summary: Punctuate dialogue with a question mark. Punctuate dialogue with an exclamation mark. Punctuate dialogue with quotes inside of it. Punctuate dialogue that is interrupted.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: . Tell your romantic partner clearly and directly what your bisexuality means to you. You could say, "I'm bisexual, which to me means that I'm romantically attracted to people regardless of gender." Make it clear whether this will change your relationship or not. You could say, "I want you to know that this doesn't change how I feel about you. I don't want to explore other relationships. This is an important part of who I am, though, so I wanted you to know."  Listen to your partner and answer their questions honestly. Be patient with them. They might need time to process this information, and that's okay. . Find a good time to talk to your parents, and then be honest with them. You can say, "Mom, I'm bisexual. I've started dating a girl/I have a crush on a girl, so I wanted you to know that." Explain to them what being bisexual means to you, and that you have thought carefully about your sexuality. Your parents might indicate that they had already figured this out, or the conversation might get pretty emotional. Be prepared for your parents to react in these ways:   Asking what they did wrong Crying or grieving Asking if you are sure Asking if you just need more attention If you are a minor, you’re probably still living at home. Even if you’ve moved away to college, you might still be financially dependent on one or both parents. If you have any concerns that your parents might not be supportive, you might want to wait to tell them that you are bisexual. You don’t want to risk no longer having a place to live or losing out on help with your tuition (such as money for college).  This is also something to consider if you live with your partner. Before telling them, you might want to take steps to make sure you are capable of being financially independent. Before you tell anyone at work, check your employer's non-discrimination policy. Make sure that you are protected from workplace discrimination. Then, you can talk to your co-workers in the same way that you talk to a friend. You could say, "I just wanted to let you know that I'm bisexual. We've become work friends, and this is an important part of who I am, so I wanted to let you know."  Don't feel like you have to come out at work. Only do so if you are pretty certain you will find support. Even if your workplace has a non-discrimination policy, you may want to consider the people who are your supervisors. Do they support these non-discrimination rules or have they given you reasons to think they don’t? It's essential that you are open with your doctor about your bisexuality. Bisexual women, in particular, often face health risks that are less common in cisgender straight people or lesbian women. Tell your doctor that you are bisexual and give any necessary details about your sexual history. Remember, they are not there to judge you. If your doctor seems confused or judgemental, it's time to look for a new doctor. They should be supportive.
Summary:
Talk to your partner Come out to your parents Think about whether or not you are dependent on that person. Tell someone at work. Talk to your doctor.
