Position of full stops
Where do I put a full stop after speech marks or in the speech marks, within brackets or outside brackets?
Top answer
Quotation marks. When quotations or parenthetical remarks are a part of a larger sentence, logical style manuals tell us to put any punctuation inside if it goes with the material inside and outside if it punctuates the entire sentence. Some style manuals put full stops inside quotation marks in all cases.
