In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Not all dialogue has to be explicitly stated or placed in quotes. Sometimes, it's not important to state exactly what each character said, but to get across the general idea that it was stated. This can offer some relief to readers who are tired of reading dialogue and it can also be a way to avoid directly stating something that is better off explained indirectly. Here are some examples: He told her he didn't feel like going to the park. She said she didn't care whether or not he came with her. He said she needed to stop being so sensitive all the time. Another thing you can do is break up a sentence with a dialogue tag to indicate a pause or to show that the character is thinking or struggling to find something to say. This can help add tension to a conversation and can also make it feel more realistic at times; not everyone can come up with the perfect statement on command. Here are some examples: "Well," Sarah said. "I guess there's nothing left to say." "I knew that," said Jerry. "But I wanted you to figure it out for yourself." You don't need to tag every single sentence of dialogue or to make it so every character only says one sentence before another character speaks. Sometimes, a character will speak at greater length, and you can show this simply by quoting one sentence after another until the character is done talking; then, you can either just place end punctuation on the end of the last sentence or attribute the dialogue to a character using a tag. Here's how it will look: "I've had such a long day. Who wants to go see an improv troupe with me?" said Mary. Jake said, "I'd rather hang out with my dog than go to work any day. He's so helpless without me." Sometimes, a character may speak for multiple paragraphs without stopping. To indicate this through correct punctuation, you should open the quote for the first paragraph, write down what the character says, and end the paragraph with either a period, a question, or an exclamation mark. Then, start the second paragraph with an open quote and keep going until the character is done speaking. When this happens, just close the quote with end punctuation as you normally would. Do it like so: (Paragraph 1:) "I've really wanted to tell you about my friend Bill...he's such a crazy guy. (Paragraph 2:) "Bill owned a cactus farm but sold it to live on a sailboat. Then he sold the boat to start building a castle, but he got tired of that and decided to swim across the Atlantic ocean instead." Not every country uses quotes to indicate that characters are talking. Some countries, such as Russia, France, or Spain, rely on using the dash to indicate that someone is talking instead. In this method, you don't need to tag the dialogue and need to trust the reader to understand who is speaking. If you use it, you have to use it consistently throughout the piece of writing. This can take a bit of practice, but it can create an interesting effect if you're committed to it. Here is an example: I guess I'll have to get going. That's fine by me. So long, then. Though writers such as Hemingway or Carver rarely use any dialogue tag but "said," you can occasionally use a different tag if it feels more appropriate. While there's no need to weary your reader with elaborate or overly-fancy sounding verbs such as "inquired" or "questioned," you can occasionally use other verbs for a breath of fresh air. Here are some examples: "I have such a crush on my yoga teacher," Lacy told her. Mary asked, "Isn't he a little too old for you?" "Age is just a number," Lacy replied.
Summary: Punctuate a sentence that uses indirect dialogue. Use a dialogue tag to indicate a pause. Punctuate dialogue that uses multiple sentences. Punctuate dialogue that carries over into multiple paragraphs. Punctuate dialogue using dashes as tags instead of commas. Consider using verbs other than "said" to tag dialogue.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Doing so should prompt a drop-down menu with screen saver options. If you've never used a screen saver on Windows 10, this bar should say "(None)". You can click any of the choices in this drop-down menu to set a Windows 10 screen saver; classic choices include the "Mystify", "3D Text", and "Photos" screen saver options. Of the default Windows 10 screen savers, only "3D Text" and "Photos" have additional options available: 3D Text - You can alter the text itself--e.g., what text is displayed--as well as its speed, the nature of its movement, and its graphical properties. You can also select "Time" to reflect your computer's clock. Photos - You can change your photos' destination folder, as well as the slide show speed and whether or not your photos display in a random order (or "shuffle"). In the field next to "Wait", you should see the number "15"; this is the default number of minutes that must pass before your screen saver becomes active. You can change this value by clicking one of the arrows (up or down) to the right of the number to increase or decrease the wait time. You can also check the "On resume, display logon screen" option to lock your computer whenever the screen saver activates. This is a good option for shared or work computers. This will save your screen saver settings! If you leave your computer alone for your selected time, your screen saver should display.
Summary:
Click the bar beneath the "Screen Saver" text. Select a screen saver. Click "Options" to customize your screen saver. Determine when you'd like your screen saver to turn on. Click "OK" when you're done.
