Which puntuation should you put on this sentence would be delighted to come the party shrieked Amy?

Here's how to punctuate that sentence correctly:

"Would you be delighted to come to the party?" shrieked Amy.

Here's why:

* Quotation marks: Enclose the entire question Amy is shouting in quotation marks.

* Question mark: A question mark goes inside the closing quotation mark because the question is part of the quoted speech.

* Comma: A comma separates the quoted speech from the speaker's action ("shrieked Amy").
