My teacher and I are in a dispute over the punctuation of this sentence: Teacher's Sentence: The sign read "Place Homework Here!" . As you can see, the teacher is not putting a common after "read" and she is putting a period after the quotation mark. My Sentence: The sign read, "Place Homework Here!" I think that a comma should be after "read" and NO period after the quotation mark. Can you please let us know which sentence is correct? Thank you very much.
