√ When Martha screamed "Fire!", her neighbor called 911. {Should there be a comma after "screamed"? Is the comma placed correctly after "Fire!"?}
√ When Jake asked "Where's the bathroom?", Sheila pointed to the outhouse. {Should there be a comma after "asked"? Is the comma placed correctly after "bathroom?"?}
Do you agree with the punctuation in both sentences!
Thank you.
You don't need commas after "screamed" or "asked."
However, I'm a little confused by the commas you are using. I'm pretty sure they should be inside the quotes, not following them. In fact, I think both sentences would be OK with no commas at all...
When Martha screamed "Fire!" her neighbor called 911.
-or-
