Answer 2

"Your son is certainly a boy of ability", said the principal.

We put double quotes at the beginning because it is a statement some individual has made and we are quoting them. After the statement is over we put a comma because it is an end of a statement but it is not completely the end of the statement that was being made. Finally, we put a full stop, in the end, to put a complete end to the statement that was being talked about.
