Punctuating Quotes

In American English, periods and commas always go inside quotation marks. 

• I can never remember how to spell "sovereignty."
• "You don't know who you're dealing with," she said with a smile. 

Colons, semicolons, and dashes always go outside quotation marks:

• Her favorite poem was "Where the sidewalk ends"; she spent days memorizing it. 

Quotation marks and exclamation points go outside quotation marks UNLESS they belong with the quoted material:

• Without missing a beat, he cried, "It was Patrick!"
