Punctuation can be the pits! Would you guys please help me figure this out? I'm trying to find the proper usage (or non-usage) of commas in the following example:
"No ma'am!" Dave said with a little grin. "But we need to get going!"
or would it be
"No, ma'am!" Dave said, with a little grin. "But, we need to get going!"
Thanks for any input!
"No ma'am!" Dave said with a little grin. "But we need to get going!"
or would it be
"No, ma'am!" Dave said, with a little grin. "But, we need to get going!"
Thanks for any input!
