Punctuation Help
Help! I am getting confused as to when you need commas, quotation marks and capital letters!
What do I do for these sentences? Are they correct?
Fred the Fly says, "Hi!" or Fred the Fly says Hi!
Thank you for saying, "Hi!"
I like to say, "Hi!"
I can't wait to say, "Hi".
Thank you so much for your help!
