Dear teachers,
Please choose the correct sentences:
1.She said, “How friendly his brother and his sister are!”
2.“How friendly his brother and his sister are!” she said.
3.“How friendly his brother,” she said, “and his sister are!”
4. She said, “How old are your brother and your sister?”
5. “How old are your brother and your sister?” she said.
6.“How old are your brother,” she said, “and your sister?”
I think all are correct. Is it right?
Best regards

Ok
How friendly his brother is!" she said. “And his sister either!”
She asked, "How old are your brother and sister?
“How old are your brother and sister?” she asked.
“How old is your brother?” she asked." And your sister, either
Hi Pamela,
For you:
2,3,5,6 are wrong?
1,4 are correct?
Quoc
Hi Pamela,
I think we need to substitute your either with also or too or leave it out altogether.

Ok
Ok
How friendly his brother is!" she said. “And his sister, either!”
She said, "How old are your brother and sister?
Ok
“How old is your brother?” she said." And your sister, either?"
You needn’t write his or your twice in the sentence. They may be used so for emphasis
Hi, Alan, and sorry :oops: Could you delete my (first)previous post , please. Thanks for your advice about substitution either with also or too.
Hi Quoc
Personally, I don’t like sentences 3 and 6.
I’d say 1,2,4,5 are OK.
Amy
Hi,
Your quote:
Two points:
You don’t really want to split (3) and (6)
If you ask a question, why not use ask instead of say?

Dear teachers
In my class,my teacher said the sentence:
“My brother,” she said, “is a student.” is correct.
So, why these 2 sentences:
1.“How friendly his brother,” she said, “and his sister are!”
2.“How old are your brother,” she asked, “and your sister?”
are not correct?
Please explain me.
Thanks
Quoc
