dialogue writing 10th
Answers
Writing a dialogue must follow certain basic rules.
The language should be simple depending upon the relationship between the speakers.
Though a dialogue should read like real speech, the dull parts should be taken out. A real conversation would be completely boring to read. Edit out the filler words and unessential dialogue – that is, the dialogue that does not contribute to a given situation.

Varun: Oh no! When did it happen?
Rahul: He was hit by a motorcycle on his way back from school yesterday.
Varun: How did it happen?
Rahul: He was crossing the road at a zebra crossing when a speeding motorcyclist jumped the traffic light and knocked him down.
Varun: Is he badly injured?
Rahul: He has fractured his arm.
