Understanding Direct Speech in Tiếng Việt
Direct speech is when you tell exactly what someone said. It's like taking their words and putting them in a bubble so everyone knows it's their words.
Important Points
- Use quotation marks to show the exact words spoken.
- Put a comma before the quotation marks if the sentence introduces the speech.
- Start the direct speech with a capital letter.
- Use punctuation marks like periods, question marks, or exclamation marks inside the quotation marks.
Examples
- Mẹ nói: "Con phải làm bài tập về nhà."
- Bố hỏi: "Con có muốn đi công viên không?"
- Cô giáo nói: "Hôm nay trời đẹp quá!"
When you use direct speech, you are telling your readers exactly what someone said, and you use special marks to show it.
Examples
- Chị nói: "Em có thể giúp chị không?"
- Anh bảo: "Đừng quên mang ô nhé."
Using direct speech is fun because you get to show exactly what someone said, just like in a story!
