Do you add a comma after an adverb in a dialog sentence, such as




"Stop it!" she yelled, loudly.




Should there be a comma after yelled?

  • If you want to emphasize mainly that she yelled (and it just happened to be loud) -- no comma.


  • If you want to emphasize that her yelling was LOUD -- use the comma.
