and direct speech both uses speech marks.

When writing a new conversation make sure to have a speech mark. After writing the conversation, maybe add in some punchuation marks like: ?!,. When finishing of the conversation make sure to have a speech mark at the end.

After write down who is talking at the end of the conversation. For Example: said Alfred, and shouted Peter.

When writing a conversation, each conversation has to have a new line, so that person can understand who is talking. Using really interesting and funny conversation can catch people attention.

Identifying Patterns

Identifying patterns is repeating the same design, and times table is adding numbers to get an answer.

The one times table pattern is that it addes by one. the nine times table patterns is that it increase by 9. Thats the pattern to all the other times table.

Patterns always go back to where the pattern has started. If the pattern doesn't go back to where it has started, then that means it is not a pattern.
