Speech Marks

Sometimes we need to use speech marks on either sideof the person speaking.      e.g. “Please help,” pleaded Mum. “I only have two hands.”                                          “Watch out!” yelled Adrian. "It is a crocodile!”                                               Rewrite the following sentences adding speech marks where required.
