Whenever writing quotations spoken by different people in a conversation, always remember to start a new paragraph every time there is a change in speaker. Here is a sample dialogue between Mrs. Jackson and Kenny:
"Hi Kenny, how are you today?" asked Mrs. Jackson.
"I'm doing very well. Thank you. How about yourself?" replied Kenny.
"I'm fine, thank you. Did you do anything special over the weekend?"
"Yes I did! I went on a trip to Seattle and got to visit my cousin. I hadn't seen him in years!"
Even if the speaker only says one word, it needs to be in a paragraph by itself.
