    Bác Mạnh, tiếng Anh khi viết về đối thoại thì không giống như tiếng VN mình. Họ không dùng " : ", tất cả dấu . ? !, vv đều nằm trong ngoặc ".

    She said, "It is not mine, but I pay for it."

    hoặc "It is not mine, but I pay for it," She said.


    Các bạn muốn tham khảo thêm về viết đối thoại thêm trong tiếng Anh thì kiếm trong google "dialogue writing".

    Đây là một site http://mrbraiman.home.att.net/page13.html dùng lời đối thoại từ phim "A Few Good Men". Để ý chữ đầu trong câu đối thoại được viết hoa.

    1) She said, 'It's not mine, but I will pay for it.'

    2) Michelle asked/said to David, 'Please give Crystal my best wishes.'

    3) The detective said, 'I don't believe you, Michelle. Please come to the manager's office.'

    4) The detective said, 'I didn't believe Michelle and (so) I asked her to come to the manager's office.'

    Notes:

    In 2), there is no comma after please. This is a common mistake with learners.

    In 3), when we address someone directly, there should be a comma to mark off any preceding clauses (I don't believe you, Michelle).

    In 4), we would probably add 'so' to emphasise the cause-effect relationship.

    Punctuation before the quotation mark: if it is a relatively short quotation, use a comma. A colon can be used before a long quote.

    Hope this helps.

    Is there a reason why you used single quote instead of double quote ???

    Yes, there's a reason for everything I do, ha ha.

    In British English, the default is single quotation marks; double quotation marks are used for quotes within quotes. This is the opposite of the American convention.
