Worksheet 1B: Punctuating Direct Speech: Name Date

The passage is a dialogue between Ant and Grasshopper where Grasshopper has learned lessons from experiencing a difficult winter. Ant asks Grasshopper what he has learned from the winter, and Grasshopper responds that he has learned he can't enjoy himself all summer without ensuring he has enough food stored for winter. Ant agrees and adds that summer is for hard work, not enjoyment. Grasshopper sadly admits he does not think he will last through another winter as he does not want to stop singing and dancing when the weather is nice.

Worksheet 1B: Punctuating direct speech


Rewrite the passage below using correct direct speech punctuation and layout.

Well, what have you learnt from your experiences this winter asked Ant with a
smirk. I’ve learnt a lot claimed Grasshopper. I’ve learnt that I can’t enjoy myself
all summer and have enough food for winter. Too right! snapped Ant. Summer
is not for enjoying yourself. Summer is for hard work. Oh dear! sighed
Grasshopper mournfully. I don’t think I’m ever going to last through a winter.
I can’t bear the thought of not singing, dancing and playing when the weather is
warm and sunny. Ant replied that is foolish talk. No wonder grasshoppers never
last. But when do you enjoy yourself, Ant? asked Grasshopper, confused.
