A dialogue is a conversation written line by line. The name before the colon tells you who is speaking: “Riya: Can I help?” Questions ask who said something, what they wanted and why.
Name before the colon — “the name before “:” tells you who is speaking”
The name before “:” is the speaker.
“I” means the speaker; “you” means the person they are talking to.
Follow the talk in order to see what was decided.
Use it for: Reading plays and conversations, Class 3 English lessons and dialogue writing.
