Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. "Let's" is the correct contraction. A comma should be placed before "said".
  2. A comma should be placed inside the quotation marks before the end of the dialogue.
  3. The closing quotation mark should be after the period and before "Uncle Freddy said".
  4. The question mark should be inside the quotation marks, and "asked Eddy" should be outside with proper punctuation.
  5. Quotation marks should be around the entire spoken - sentence, and there should be a comma after "call".

Answer:

  1. "Let's take a look at that bike," said Uncle Freddy.
  2. "I'll bring my wrench set," Eddy answered.
  3. "I don't think wrenches will fix what is wrong," Uncle Freddy said.
  4. "What do you suggest then?" asked Eddy.
  5. Just then they heard a voice call, "Eddy and Freddy! Time for lunch."
