This Grade 5 worksheet challenges students to punctuate split dialogue, where a tag interrupts a quoted sentence, and to handle dialogue that runs across multiple sentences. Learners complete nine fill-in-the-blank items and a four-pair speaker matching activity that connects characters to lines they would realistically say. The activities deepen comprehension of how commas, periods, and capitalization work together inside complex dialogue.
