Could a sentence with quotation marks also have commas?

Absolutely! Sentences with quotation marks can definitely have commas. Here are some examples of how they can work together:

1. Comma before a quote:

* "I'm going to the store," she said, "to buy some milk."

* "It's a beautiful day," he remarked, "perfect for a picnic."

2. Comma inside a quote:

* "Thank you," she said, "for the lovely gift."

* "I'm so excited," he exclaimed, "to see the new movie!"

3. Comma after a quote:

* "I'm not sure," she said, "but I think I'll go."

* "I'm ready," he replied, "let's go."

4. Comma both inside and outside a quote:

* "I'm going to the store," she said, "but I'll be back soon."

* "I'm excited," he exclaimed, "to see the new movie, but I don't know if I have time."

Important note:

* The rules for using commas in general still apply even when quotation marks are present.

* Pay close attention to the meaning of the sentence and the flow of the ideas to make sure your commas are used correctly.
